I'm afraid it's not that retro, I was very fussy about what engine I got.
It's a 1991 940 Estate in a fetching dark blue with matching dapper blue interior, the laydees will love it.
More importantly though it's got the 2.0 turbo engine the B200FT which is supposed to be bullet proof. So the plan is, exhaust from sweden, lowering springs, boost controller swap that 6psi for 15psi and get pimpin those streets.

it's got the 2.0 turbo engine the B200FT So it's an SE Turbo then is it? My parents used to have one - mum managed to do 40,000 miles in just 18 months... |

Yeah an SE turbo, sadly I couldn't find a 2.3 turbo and this was £600 with 12 months MOT so I thought I'd give it a shot.

Last of the rear wheel drives, nice! The ol' man has one of the very last RWDs, a 1996 940cd 2.3 saloon, and I kind of like the thing. He's had a few 940s before, but this one's a joy to work on. And has a light grey full leather interior, and matching dashboard etc, and is great to drive. |

Well I picked it up today and have spent all evening driving around in it. What a belting car and suprisingly nippy really, can't wait to get the boost up!

I'd have bet you loved it! I'll never forget kicking my dad's 1991 SE Turbo's teeth in from Greenock to Linwood once, on a deserted backroad, full throttle all the way except from the tight bends. Great fun!! ;D ;D ;D
