Descrizione
1993 Volvo 240 Torslanda Turbo Wagon
-
MOT June 2024
The bodywork is in good order and is ridiculously solid on the underside for a 30 year old car, it requires no work for the foreseeable future, I use the car for a 50 mile commute a couple of days a week and it's perfectly useable daily and gets so many compliments it's unreal,
Although the 240 is a sizeable beast it only weighs in at around 1380kg so with 250 hp on tap it can certainly keep up with modern traffic. there's scope for more power but at this boost level these engine are proven to be very reliable.
It really is ready to just enjoy,
Here's a quick run down of the parts fitted,
