hi fellow 300 owners thought id show you this little gem sorry for the complete lack of photos ill get more up tomorrow,
but anyhow ill give a brief of how i managed to get my hands on it
i got a fone call one day from my mate who said do u want a 2 liter volvo as always im always up for another volvo so i asked the price and number of the bloke selling and after i got in contact with the owner he told me he wanted.......wait for it............... £100 as the mot just ran out bargain in my eyes sm4 so off i went to folkstone to pick her up and apart from a clean and fix a few bits shes perfect its covered 134000 miles its got a few bad points but for £100 who cares

anyway a little picture
Image

what ya think oh and also i found the service history in the glove box and to my amazment its even got a detailed history all the way up to 110000miles and to add to it it also went straight through the mot with flying colours

Looks like a good buy! But surely it's a GLE not a GLT... ;)

As for the Rover V8 errm.. why? The 16v will produce more power and weigh less :)

Being 1988/89 it will be a B200K with low compression(9.2:1). What do want to know about the engine?

Its a proper Volvo Engine and built to last, similar to all the other B2xx engine in 200/700/900s, turbo engines fit relatively well but still quite a job to get all the right parts. There are no common problems with the Engine that I can think off, this particular carb seems to be very reliable. Watch out for long term service requirements like fuel pipes, the short rubber joints at the back are a pain to change as they go up over the torque tube and above the tank.
