Question for the volvisti

If you'd like to check again, you'll find it has a nice, fresh 12 months MOT and is on the insurance database now :)

Oh, there's one advisory: the nearside rear wheel bearing. That's getting replaced tomorrow as it's the same amount of work as cleaning, greasing and adjusting the old one. Shall I post the receipt?

Yeah, I suppose you are right, absolutley no potential, only good for tip runs.

Actually, screw the 740, and go older skool:

Could a little 4 pot make a cooler noise? ;)

This is making me want another Volvo!!

I would love to do a PV544 with a 2.3 red block 16v head conversion and a big variable vane turbo. Should move well for an old shaker.

Loved the humpy back shape of the old PV models.

Elder gurgled happily, sounding much like they were saying:

I'm with you on that. If anything, I think I prefer 'em to Amazons - and I like them.

They'd be behind a two-smoke Saab in the "I WANT!" queue, though...

When I went to the rally sport Saab and Skoda track day a couple of years ago, there was a PV with Saab seats in, and a couple strokers, a saloon and a Sonnet.

The saloon sounded something like an F1 bike when it was opened up, and the exhaust kept seperating on the Sonnet and trying to set the floor pan on fire.
