Description

For sale, I have my Volvo 760 Turbo Intercooler which I have owned since may last year. Reluctantly having to sell it on as I currently have 3 cars and a wee new born in the mix. I have toyed with the idea of storing it, but after the money spent on recommissioning the car, it seemed pointless as it has to be used. It would be suited to an enthusiast and is very well placed to be a daily driver, which I have done. The car has done just over 101,000 miles, which will rise due to it being my daily driver. Registered in January 1990 from Murray Volvo in Edinburgh, the car was a purchase for the Philippines embassy where it spent the first few years of it's life. Traces of this can be seen by the blanking pin covering the flag hole on the bonnet (see pictures) and service documentation within the Volvo folder. After a few years of service, the car was traded in and bought by the owner of Murray Volvo where it was used sparingly for another few years and then sold on again, privately. There are documents that go up to the mid 2000's, but thereafter it gets a little sketchy as the car came off the road around 2010 and was stored again. (MOT history to back this up) After some years of laying around, the car was bought by a friend of mines, who took it upon him self to begin the process of bringing the car back to roadworthiness. This was helped by the fact the car was covered and on dry ground so it meant that the process of the restoration would be more about the oily bits. Notable changes have been made to this car under the bonnet, especially with a fully recharged air-conditioning system and new cooling radiator with electrically operating thermostatic fan instead of the big viscose fan. New filters, fuel injection system and pumps have been replaced along with fuel lines to help with modern fuels. A full new stainless steel exhaust system has been added and the whole underside is completely sealed to protect the car for every day use. Being a 35 year old car, there are some car park related scuffs and the odd wee scratch and ding here and there, but on the whole the paintwork great and the panels are straight and original. The 760 is the 2.3 Petrol Turbo Intercooler with the M46 gear box with overdrive, knocking out around 170BHP. As far as enthusiasts go, this is the more desirable engine to have as it's economically better to run. All belts and auxiliaries have been changed and recently changing the water pump at a local Volvo garage. 4500 OVNO Next MOT due 26/05/2025, Full service history, Blue, 5+ owners, £4,500
