sorry, just seein if i'm free tonight. Couple of quick questions, you said its a B20 in her, but i've been told that the '68's had B18, has it been transplanted? Or is it the single carb 4spd? does it have overdrive? Also from the pic's looks like the passenger door handle is missing, any reason? I know nothing about them  It has got a single carb and it is a 4spd. Doesn't have overdrive (as far as i'm aware anyway) The model on the log book is 133. Passenger door handle is sat inside on the seat. It was like that when I got it. Just looks like it needs bolting back on. The handle works fine and has got the spring that goes behind it. |

Excellent, saw it thought cool, rana mile, upto my eyeballs already. B interesting to have it in the RR stable Tom. Hi Welcome Roadruna BTW.  |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts  |

IIRC, the change over was for the 1969 model year. Probably the easiest way to tell is the clutch mechanism (assuming that hasn't been changed too) - is it hydraulic (B18) or cable (B20)? The B20 also had a different steering wheel. |

IIRC, it's 5 x 112. All later Volvos are different, including the 1800E and 1800ES (the P1800 is the same as the Amazon).
BTW, just remembered that the factory built B20s also have dual circuit brakes

Not sure, the Mustang wheels I put on have elongated holes for multi fitment.
5X112 sounds about right tho.

In all seriousness I've got two sets of 5x112 alloys. Don't think they'll be what you're after though, as they're off my Passat. One set's 16x7, the others 18x8.

Oh dear god. Tom, buy it fast.
I'm very tempted by this, even the flamer kit is authentic for a sled, instead of Nova.

yea dual circuit brakes are good. If you spring a leak, you'll still have stopping power at some wheels, at least ;D
