Mr_Bo11ox Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Talbot-Solara ... 0933774040 YUM! I love these. I'd chuck a bid in, but then i remembered i've already got an Alpine that i'm doing absolutely piss all with, so why buy another? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skizzer Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Liking that TVR. Mmmmmm, brown: No MOT and around £4k with 3 hours to go so not necessarily the bargain of the year, but handsome nonetheless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skizzer Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 My business Stephen Hunter Specialist Cars has supplied specialist vehicles since 1997 I do not really know where to start, but I am sure that if you are reading and looking for this model, you will know a great deal more than myself Huh?

Cavcraft Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 /\That (Volvo) keeps popping up in my 'within 25 mile search' thing on eBay. A combination of it not running and the advert being a private listing was enough to scare me off in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KruJoe Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Ha ha, good going Horace_Bolx! It would likely weigh in for more than that price.But how you getting it home, A-frame behind the scratter van? Unbolting the prop first? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Well it didnt scare me off, I bid on it and won it F-LOL. What are the plans, see if you can get it going then drive it back or just A-frame it or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Bo11ox Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Its only about 15 miles from home with no M-ways required, so I reckon I am gonna try to A-frame it behind my mates LWB transit (should be fun as it has a slippy clutch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lankytim Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I was going to say that these 760's are a bit shit as they can go rotten in funny places and have a mediocre engine, but I see you have won it so I won't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R9UKE Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr_Bo11ox Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meggersdog Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 It's time for Wuvvum to get a bidder number again.ACA have another classic auction in three weeks and this look appealing to meAnybody going ? 1982 Ford Escort XR3i 61,000 miles and 3 registered keepers. Fresh from 14 years barn storage. The engine turns with good compression but has yet to be startedESTIMATE:No Reservehttp://www.angliacarauctions.co.uk/clas ... -june.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lankytim Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 Yes, 760's have IRS as opposed to a solid rear axle of the 740's. Makes them handle quite well apparently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cavcraft Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I'd be tempted to have a bash at getting it running then booking it in for an MOT and driving it. I expect they're deeply unloved at the mo which just makes them more attractive really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trigger Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... :BODO:UK:1 This is giving me the eye, It ticks all my boxes and looks great, I've already offered £1350 which got refused but I'm not sure if to go any higher as it will be a daily driver and it looks to have been damaged by the N/S/F wing/bonnet area. Dilemma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wackywacerwill Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trigger Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadworkUK Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 What's with the tabs on the rear seats? Looks like they could be pulled down though not sure why one would bother. 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
