    keeping it old skool- the v70r's replacement

    well ive had enough of v70's and 850s at the minute so i bought this as my new daily, it has 6 months mot and tax and comes with a free v90 leather interior, best of all its a 7 seater, 2.3 non turbo manual, i'm quite3 liking the styling of these compared to the 940's

    Great motors Frank and its possibly the same engine as the 240 brilliant simple engine and just keeps on going the amount of abuse I gave my 240 estate was unreal its wasn't the fastest but it never turned its nose up at any thing to ripping conifers out dragging stuff twice its weight a true work horse

    Should of bought the turbo sport they are going up in value now because they are getting rarer by the day .but with a none turbo 740 the are a lot less problems to deal with and it will also slow you down lol
