HMC Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Up for sale is this beast. 1988 Volvo 760 turbo diesel auto estate. MOT to April 2016. Has the D24TIC vw 6 cylinder lump and hence sounds like a truck ( though in a good way!!)Recent 2 new tyres, rear brake caliper, propshaft uj, front pads and discs. Smokes a little on boost ( nothing excessive, easy to adjust on the pump- which is a bosch) I dont know when the cambelt was last done and this would be my next move if i was keeping it. Idles a bit lumpily sometimes, some fuel system Cleaner has been lobbed in the tank but hasnt helped a great deal. Body is very good, straight and not rusty except where a scratch hasn't been treated. Black leather interior and quite rare as someone didnt want the metallic finish these came in and went for white instead! Headlining is there but pinned up.£400 located tavistock Devon. Sale or swap. AIso I can offer a lift back from shitefest for collection if that helps.I Will put up more pics later gordonbennet, Lacquer Peel, Uncle Jimmy and 6 others 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uncle Jimmy Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 Oh ffs why didn't Volvo just make a van. A dozen flat bits of steel riveted on would be near sufficient. Partridge 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HMC Posted May 27, 2015 Author Share Posted May 27, 2015 This has now sold to a local volvo enthusiast, I can't think the last time I owned only 2 cars. Im sure its just a passing phase.... Cavcraft, RobT and Lacquer Peel 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
