Overview
A true Swedish classic with a twist — this 1989 Volvo 740 GLE Estate has been upgraded with the sought-after 2. 4-litre 6-cylinder Turbo Diesel VW diesel engine, originally found in Volvo’s D24-powered saloons. This rare engine installation gives the 740 impressive torque, a distinctive diesel character, and real collector appeal.
Barn stored since 2021, the car drove into storage and is now offered as a non-running project requiring recommissioning. With solid bones, a clean design, and Volvo’s famed reliability, it’s an ideal base for restoration or customisation.
