It's the 2 litre too, so you can easily go the 940 turbo-engined route, seeing as it's supposed to have a Volvo engine anyway. It's not in bad condition either. I have an aunt in Luton who used to have one of them, it wasn't a bad car either, very similar to that one actually, I done a few jobs on it for her a couple of times, basic servicing etc, why she sold it for a Citroen f*cking Xantia I'll never know. Anyway, that one has definate potential, and I notice our very own ebayholic, NickB is the highest bidder just now.

I think the ideal would be to buy a trilby, wear it at a jaunty angle and drive this beast up and down the middle lane of the A1 at 51mph. Just to pisÂs everyone off, like.
Once I get bored of that I will endeavour to strap some kind of turbo device to it, then drive said vehicle up and down the A1 at indecent speed. Still wearing the OAP style head-gear, naturally.

I had a 340... Worst car I've ever had but that was more to do with the knackeredness of it rather than any fundamental design flaw! This was it: From my forthcoming * website: A sudden change of job left me without a company car, and I needed ultra cheap transport quickly. A weekend spent poring over the Loot and local ads proved fruitless, and I was all set for using the bus when I heard of a Volvo 340 for sale. Tax, MOT and a bargain price couldn't be ignored. The car was a total wreck. Starting was a hit and miss affair, friends soon got used to having to help push-start. No heater meant having to de-ice the inside of the windscreen in the winter, and I had to wrap up warm to avoid the chill from driving with all the windows down. The adverts in the eighties made much of the handling balance achieved by the gearbox mounted at the rear, but all mine did was go sideways at anything over walking pace - two slow punctures on the back budget remoulds saw to that. I enjoyed it though. I was the king of urban driving. Speed humps didn't troulbe me - at any speed, because I didn't care. Layers of dents and scratches revealing signs of an incident-filled past were just the thing to have when pulling out at the last minute or forcing my way in at contra-flows. No-one messed with it. * Considering that it's been "forthcoming" for nearly five years, I wouldn't hold your breath in anticipation...

I think if you throw the standard suspension over a cliff buy a set of decent springs and dampers you would have a pretty good handling car. Brakes are good and the 2.0 litre did 0-60 in a shade under ten seconds. But as standard get a sniff off a corner and they would turn into a blancmange

my friend at school's brother had a 340 - bought it from his boss and proceeded to put "splat" stickers all over the formerly pristine black paintwork (this was 1992 though).
it had a lovely brown velour interior which he quickly cut up to get as many speakers in as possible, and then one night drove it into a badly-lit skip at 30mph. he reversed, pushed the indicator back into the wing, and drove off again with just a cracked headlight.

Never trust a man Who names himself Trevor. Or one day you might find He's not a real drug dealer.

Was the skip a write-off?
I got my ass kicked in around 1993 for putting green splat stickers (that I liberated from Halfords) on my dad's Silver mkII XR2 (B907 RKS).
My excuse: I was 9 and knew no better.

TBH, I'd rather just have an engine. I have serious space issues at the moment, and another "breaker" would be too much!
