It was found near Liverpool now residing on the sunny South Coast it came to the uk in I believe 2006 but was never registered.
Most of these brilliant cars gave up there Portal axles for the landrover fraternity and the bodies were scraped luckily this one was squirreled away and survived

Love those Volvo's. They are getting very rare now, mainly due to people pinching the portal axles for off-road competition builds and scrapping the remains of the Volvo. Good to see another one saved.

Have to say I did get lucky with this one as they were ravaged by rust rumour has it volvo were quite embarrassed by the way the dissolved and re bodied a lot of them at some time mine had a new body which is known as a Aluzinc body infact its actually 1.5mm thick steel with a electro plated zinc coating and there was no significant corrosion rear roof and side panels are aluminium.

I'm just in the process of building a 5 speed overdrive gearbox using a TGB 20 5 speed box and a Bedford CF box as they both used a similar ZF 18 a mix and match of parts |
