Looks nice trig and OSF tax would surely mean it's a appreciating asset. That said knowing nothing of the values of these it sounds steep for a fairly clean yet slightly crusted arch old onion.

What's with the tabs on the rear seats? Looks like they could be pulled down though not sure why one would bother.

The thing is if it was a XR3i you'd be looking at £2-2.5k but being an Orion it's worth less and even £1500 sounds a lot for me, especially as the last Mk4 i bought was only £300.

60/40 split rear seat on these for access to the mahoosive boot. Came on all the top-rung Onions, yet is £400+ on most German saloons...

Has anyone had any experience of these V6 760 volvos?

 

 

I do, good lad for whacking a bid on, was watching that about 3 auctions ago, can't believe it kept getting no bids. Beautiful colour.

 

It's the old PRV as seen in the Renault 25 and Espace to name a few. Goes with the character of the Vulva really well. Not fast, but will move fairly well when you ask it too, though making you well aware that it's not at all happy about having to go quickly. Sounds bloody nice with the belt driven fan too.

 

If you do end up scrapping it or breaking it could you PLEASE drop me a pm. Numerous parts I would buy off you including an alternator and rear light cluster :D

 

Not quite true. The Volvo from 88 to 91 had the B280 engine, is different to the earlier PRVs is one important way. The weakness of early PRVs is that any lack of maintenance causes sludge to block the spray hole in the rocker arms, which causes rocker arm wear, which kills the camshaft(s).

 

The B280 had modified heads which create a bath of oil the cams dip into and splash around, so the cams don't wear.

 

They also have an oddfire crankshaft making them silky smooth rather the offbeat noise that my 604 makes

I think they have a completely different rear suspension to the 4-cyl ones, does anyone know it thats bo11ox or not?

 

In my head these 760's are a total lost cause, you've got the thirst of an old carburettor Xj6 or some 70's v8 yank shite, but you get to drive round in a shit-looking Volvo for your trouble of keeping it fed. You don't even get the benefit of looking cool or being able to wink at the lasses or whatever and you can't carry loads of shite round like you can in a wagon. However thats almost reason enough to put up with one for a couple of months. I reckon the PRV V6's shite game is very strong.

 

 

That's pretty much spot on. a 760 saloon with the V6 rather than the turbo redblock is a hard sell in anyone's book.

That Orion's nice but 4 door Fords never seem to get quite the scene tax the hatchback and 2 doors do. I think £1350 is a very fair offer for that and they'll probably realise that when it still hasn't sold by the end of the auction.

£895 (recently sold* for £850) for an HF turbo with no T&T.

Something seems slightly fishy to me though, the seller has 3-4 cars for sale, not had this long, I have a feeling it may need more than a little work.

Say what you like about the bloke, he can't half find some crackers! 9000 mile 1.6 Ghia, anybody fancy guessing what the finishing price will be?. I'm guessing £5700

 

It finished at £9000 reserve not met.

 

Anybody who thinks 4 doors are worth nothing because nobody wants them is still living in 2005.

Looks promising at that price. Expect its innards will end up in a Mini though...

Something looks strange about those, either they stick out too much, or the tyres are too low profile, or both...

Don't often see these for sale here.

Oltcit

Pretty sure this belongs to Six-Cylinder of this parish. You'd struggle to find a rarer usable car for the money.

No photos but this could be a massive bargain, if it was closer I'd be having at look.
