This 244 has been worked over a number of years with attention to: engine, ignition & fuel components, computer, gearbox, clutch, suspension and driver training.
To enhance the car, genuine Volvo turbo parts, or better, have been sourced worldwide to build-up a unique marriage of B21 & B230 ET/FT components.

The 240 Turbo model was sold in Europe & USA, but not in Australia being a right-hand-drive country, hence a unique challenge. Thankfully 760/740/940 Turbo models were sold in good numbers in Australia and they use much the same engine fittment configuration, so parts are readily obtainable.
