What a great badge to have underneath the 940 one on the rear. CLASSIC they knew it would be when they built them.

Thanks buddy I love this car. It was called the classic as it was one of the last models of the 940 made it’s a celebration model.

Best cars ever made are the old volvo cars..i have had several of them and now very content with a 2008 S40 1.6..older ones are so difficult to find now.

I can't help but smile every time I turn the key on my '89 740GL. I completely understand your need to have the 940 back. Congratulations!

Many years ago I bought a non turbo 940 estate for £250 from a very upper crust lady who lived in a castle in Scotland. It was filthy inside as it had been used for transporting hunting dogs.

Great to see Vera back mate and you smiling so much. Lovely example, love the induction noise too. Miles behind the videos again, so a not so strange place to say that I hope you had a fabulous Christmas and very best wishes for 2023 and beyond.

Thanks Darren it’s great to have her back she was massively missed but unfortunately something that needed to go at the time to make the workshop work. Merry Christmas to you and your family I hope you had a great time. Stay tuned for 2023

This is the car that originally drew me in to your channel see it's nice to see it back! Their comfy welcoming interior and boat-like exterior is really appealing!

Vera is fab. I need another 700/900 in my life again. Bev looks good on camera, but she’s got her fair share of battle scars but it’s characters. I joined the VOC while I was at the show last week! And Hydras…. The best alloys

@SimpsonsClassics Жыл бұрын

Thanks glad you like her! She has many many battled scars. But I love looking used. Hydras where always the wheels I wanted for this car I love them!

When i had a 940 estate mine was dark green and had the optional extra of real grass that grew up through carpet in the summer

Aha do like then in green. Sounds like a unique feature for sure

You're a man living the dream, a huge cave with all his favourite "I want" cars in it. Nice one Marc, I felt like you'd made a mistake moving Vera on, not often I'm right lol, glad you've got it back 👍

@SimpsonsClassics Жыл бұрын

Definitely living the dream absolutely buzzing to have her back. It was sell this one or sell one of the minis so it felt like the only thing to do. But it’s worked out well and so glad James is been so good to sell her back. Cheers for watching

@@SimpsonsClassics Yeah, now that you explain it like that I'm fully with you on why you did it. It worked out very well in the end so all is good. If I'd lived closer to Manchester I'd have been at the Frost meet.

Smashing car. Replace the tail lights (perhaps with the ones with clear indicator lenses, as fitted to V90s and very late 940s) and sort out the rear arch and it will be even better ^^

looks good mate, if you goto thingyverse and search volvo 940 there is a gauge vent mount there, if its the one i can print it for you. i did post before but i think the post got removed as i put a link in it. car looks nice

Oh cool I never saw that link mate sorry. I am excited to get these jobs done now. Bloody love this car. 👍

If I'm not mistaken that 940 has a clear coat over the paint, just like my 940. I also want to remove little scratches. I will be interested in exactly how you do that. Do you sand back the clear coat and the paint underneath. Then repaint and then reapply clear coat. Is there any problem with getting the new paint over the old clear coat at the edges. BTW I understand the reasons you would buy back a Volvo you previously sold. I did the same thing with a '91 240 GLE sedan (with tan leather seats). Perhaps it's the ergonomics of the whole car. Just lovely.

@SimpsonsClassics Жыл бұрын

Hey yea they do have a clear coat over the paint so maybe a case of sanding back and see what I can do. Either way if I came up with a good plan I will let you all know. Glad I am not the only one to sell and buy a car back aha cheers for watching 👍

I do want to know where you found a 15c turbo. It's quite common to convert a 13c to a 15g or 16t (or other larger TD04 turbos) These 15g / 16T turbos came from the 850 or S/C/V70 (first gen) Turbo cars. This requires re-clocking the turbo, modifying the exhaust manifold slightly and a custom wastegate actuator.

@SimpsonsClassics Жыл бұрын

Yes the turbo was clocked all this work was done before my ownership the BSR exhaust system front to back was also sourced for the car it all worked well as a package for sure.

@Schwedenstahl245 Жыл бұрын

@@SimpsonsClassics very interesting. I wonder which cars got the 15c turbo?

@SimpsonsClassics Жыл бұрын

@@Schwedenstahl245 i don’t think any did this is a aftermarket turbo as the previous owner bought this car many many years back with a blown turbo.
