Original 0-60 mph time 8.5 secs. 16-valve head designed by Porsche, equipped w. twin counter-rotating external balance shafts. 740 GLT 16V an extremely rare model, available in UK from 1989-90: now only 5 examples left on UK roads.

Total mileage to date approx. 120,000 miles (car on second speedometer/odometer); bulk of mileage done during period 1990-2004 by my father. Since 2004 car garaged & used occasionally, has done an average of 1000-2000 miles per year during that time. In decent running condition w. MOT until 7/1/2025. Performs well, very reliable. Bodywork good w. very slight surface corrosion in wheel arches & minor dents (see photos). Interior in good condition, some wear to both driver's & front passenger's seats, headlining detached above back window (see photos). Plus points: new battery, blower fan, back exhaust all fitted this year; latest timing belt replaced Feb. 2021 (car has done approximately 2000 miles since); new windscreen, new horns, new front indicator lenses, new wheel trims, new driver & passenger door mirrors, side trims, uprated headlight bulbs all fitted in last five years. Front grille also repainted. Good tyres w. plenty of tread (Michelins at rear). 3 sets of keys. Minus points: climate control, rear demist, speedometer/odometer (intermittent), heated seats not working; electric sunroof works but hits against retractable wind deflector; engine idles a little roughly from cold but very responsive & powerful when warmed up, some noise from steering at speeds under 20 mph, possible slight leak from centre section of exhaust, snapped key trapped in boot lock (central locking fully functional). Car an excellent candidate for full or partial restoration. B234F a favourite engine w. enthusiasts who modify them for extra power, often fitting turbos -internet search will confirm this!
