Few pictures of my 740 turbo on ocean mk18s.

Unfortunately, I’m having some scrubbing issues on the rear so may have to roll the arches some what although I’m reluctant to do it.

God, I love that shape. Not 100% sold on the wheels but you do you, sir. Looks clean as a whistle.

I like that.

Also reminds me of the time I stuck 18 inch Lenso S7s on my 93 Ford Sierra.

Any interior pics?

Great car. Ahead of its time.

I don't like the wheels. I prefer wheels and tyres that allow hustling along bump back roads.

I do love these Volvo's. What does the turbo offer in terms of bhp outputs?

Luther drives a 240, but I thought exactly the same. Its nice to see the classics stand out next to modern stuff

I had a 740 GL estate, I drove it back from Gothenberg. I was working there on a contract, but got the employee discount, and the salesman was throwing free options in left, right and centre. Great car, swallowed everything. The family went all over Europe in it. Fantastic turning circle.

What hate? Everyone likes the car so far, but not all like the wheels. Hardly a hate fest.
