Just bought an estate from 1997. Never felt so in love with my car 😂 it has 355446 km but in a really perfect condition. Love this car!!

Love mine. My favourite cars of all time...I have a ‘96 2.3 petrol and ‘95 diesel, both estates, both turbo. The petrol is mint at 80k miles and the diesel very well loved at 283k, and an ongoing rolling resto. Both drive like champs and just keep on plugging away. Have owned seven 2/7/900 series Volvos over the years with a combined mileage of over 1.2 million miles. None of them have ever let me down or failed to complete a journey. Incredible cars!

The Volvo 700/900 is a most agreeable car. I've had my 1990 740 SE Auto estate for nearly 19 years now. I hope to keep it for another 19 years.

Turbo + auto = Okay Turbo + manual = Marvelous

Great Scandinavian styling.

Wanting to detail one's own car isn't sad at all, sitting behind a computer screen waiting to watch you do it is... 😉👍

Continental has a retro looking head unit with Bluetooth,USB and even SD card I think. Puts a smile on my face to see how much you've enjoying the car!

I've had two Volvo wagons in the past and love them. The car in your vid is fantastic and great vid by the way :)

YES, it's the only car you'll ever need, and will never let you down! Honestly 😄 And it's all beautiful boxyness..

I need this car in my life!

Certainly the old Volvos we’re better than the new modern 👌👍

I have a dent in the same place on my '97 Classic' bonnet as well. Back in 2007, I was showing how strong it was, compared to my 740GL, by sitting on it. I then realised, the bonnet wasnt as strong as the 740 model bonnet...LOL. But it has been the best car I've ever owned, 80k miles to 141k in fifteen years. Rust will need sorting underneath, but she does keep on going and that self-levelling suspension is just sublime.

Thanks for sharing your passion for these amazing cars.

I've just bought a 94 M. reg 940 SE auto estate in white, 2 owners & 105k with history. Not as quick as yours but air/con, heated leather seats. Original bill of sale for £22 grand! These cars simply have class & a unique charm & feel to them.

Very good review, I'm looking to buy one myself.

Fantastic!

The Blaupunkt Bremen would fit perfectly in this car. Very retro with bluetooh and AUX.

Nice throaty sound from that intake, lovely! 👌

That Volvo looks mint and sounds just as good. 👍

Very nice car lucky example to find 👍

I love headlight wipers. they're quirky

Love it. i bet you have some hydras. i want some ocean mk18 for mine

Love the car dude. I really want one of these but they’re rare as hens teeth in Northern Ireland. Think a wee trip to England might be on the cards before the price of 940s goes mental. Alpine head unit is what you want.

Let me know! Edith needs a run!

in sweden most of the 940s hav the "add on" bodykit boot spoiler ocean mk18 19 wheels and 960 taillights and bouncing round with no springs and a big silly sticker in the rear window

great cars. i have a 90s 740 and its great

Hi Marc. I remember seeing the saloon version, possibly an estate as well with a set of factory matt black 5 spokes, which look cool. Reckon yours will look great once cleaned up hey. Great stuff 😊

I'm very jealous of your working boot struts.😂

Nice motor have ya seen the engine we did for Emily shields . ya 940 is a nice looking car

Nice one 😃 Maybe I should do a comparison to my really run down 945 😄

Sorry to see most recent video poor Vera

Volvo’s are in a league of their own. Absolute pleasure to drive.

Paintcode is under the hood on a plate, probably Silver code 130, or silversandmetallic 419

You will find the paint code on the Sign in the engine bay with the VIN on it

What sort of mpg do you get from it

Estate or saloon? Which would you pick

As the owner of a Fiat Panda I can't go calling any car boxy 🤭, for a car of that age and miles it's in exceptional condition.

High or low pressure turbo as stock?

I've got a 945 2.3 LPT "R" reg, low mileage, manual, one owner from new. She doesn't like starting on even a slight incline when the engine is hot - judders badly, even at 700-1000 rpm. Can be very trying during a long trip if I hit motorway start/stop congestion. But fine in reverse. No clutch slippage (I've never worn out a clutch), and perfect on gear changes. No oil leaks from clutch housing, crankcase breather checked and clear. Had this tendency for years, but now getting on my nerves!. Otherwise a great performer on 99 octane (minimum "E"), perfect emissions on test, 32 mpg on long trips, and a nice little bit of oversteer with tweaked tyre pressures. Anyone else experienced this, or have any ideas? I really need to get it sorted!!

Its not a "940 Turbo Classic", its a "940 classic". The Engine is a low pressure Turbo (LPT) engine, the "Turbo" models have the HPT engine. The main difference is the waste gate actuator, and boost gauge. Although if someone has fitted a boost gauge its likely they have fitted either the HPT actuator or a bleed valve. What boost are you getting? 4.5psi for LPT (135hp) , 7.5 for HPT (165hp), you can easily take it to 11 (200) with no mods.

How much was it? Sorry if you’ve said already
