One of these?

SS

Yep, thats the one, a 67 in burgundy, went for something entirely different this time. Great fun to drive actually, and rock solid reliability(touch wood), been down to Dorset three times already, and had her up to 100mph!

Free tax and under eighty pounds to insure is nice too.. *wink*

hmmm nice, and opportunities for tweaks





built by Vox, bought by Guy Martin!

the estate looks cool with those alloy wheels.
its like the mazda rx3's and 4's very popular and very rare.

i had a 440 volvo and it was great to drive, very comfy and very economical, gear change was tough lol.

That VOX Volvo is quite nippy, 788bhp nippy...

The upgrades performed by the previous owner of mine are a little more modest, fast road cam, twin carbs, hardened valve seats(for unleaded), over-drive and a higher diff ratio.
Added some uprated springs and dampers myself. Might get that new fangled electronic ignition later too! Hehe

Nice i'll sort out the pics of another amazon when i find them... For ignition I recommend binning the distributor and go for Megajolt... Its based around the ford edis system but gives you fully mapped 3d ignition using cheap as chips edis bits and a magic box to tell it what you want! It was cheaper to convert my rover v8 than buying a decent new distributor, and vastly superior, best engine mod I'd done to it in 22 years!!!!

found it ... the 'Swedish Ops' Amazon



lots of subtle touches....

there's a huge build thread on rodsnsods site if you are VERY bored one day! http://www.rodsnsods.co.uk/forum/gar...sion-kit-38546

Not a lot of Volvo left in that Volvo. I love the retro-ness of the drive.

Thanks about the ignition recommendation Britlude I'll look into it, I was edging towards the 123 distributer, but they are quite expensive.
