Right... I've got some internet's again.
The above can become a book if you want, there are people on here a lot better gen'd up on it than me. I reckon you are right in a super quick intro rather than going for a huge history however. So, Chris' minor edit would be to:Attack2001 wrote:First things first when it comes to the 300 series, a little history and the evolution from the beginning. The Volvo 340 was originally designed by DAF. Volvo became interested in building the car when they found Renault would supply the engines. So it’s a DAF designed, Volvo built, Renault powered car, until later on when Volvo created their own range of engines.
Input on that would be appreciated.Attack2001 wrote:First things first when it comes to the 300 series, a little history and the evolution from the beginning. The Volvo 340 was originally designed by DAF. During the development process Volvo bought the DAF factory over interests shown from BMW and continued to source engines from Renault for the platform. So it’s a DAF designed, Volvo built, Renault powered car, at least until later on in the story when Volvo fitted their "redblock" engines to what became the 360.
