This is a 1991 960 estate-it has the body coloured/black bumpers with chrome top plates, plus (not visible in this picture) chrome waist strips and door handles and distinctive alloy wheels. Also the bonnet is different from that fitted to 740/940 slightly covering the wipers for better aerodynamics(!). It's pretty much the same bodywork as the previous year's 760 estate, the most noticeable difference is that the chrome window frames are now black. |

H494FGS is registered to a 1991 Volvo 740 GL Either the car was modified (most likely repair after accident), or they have put the plate of a 740 on a 760... or there is an error in the registry -- Last edit: 2015-01-20 17:06:47 |

Obviously, as his car is a sedan and the other one is a wagon I guess the question was how to identify a 740 vs a 760... and for that I can't help personally. |

The main vehicle is a probably a 760 or 960, the hood goes all the way up to the windscreen with the mounting spots for the wiper arms partly hidden under the hood. The 740 wiper arms are mounted on a separate sheet metal between the hood and windscreen. 760/960 also by the headlights and the chrome trim under the headlights. It's pretty common to put 940 headlights on a 740 as a home made facelift put extremely rare to rebuild it with the 760/960 hood and wiper arrangement as it is a lot of work! First thumb a 740, second a 760, third a 940 and forth a 960: Ziad Hasan, your car is a 940. Just look at the tail lights! Also confirmed by the VIN: YV1944855MA049553 Y = Sweden V1 = Volvo cars 944 = Model 940 four doors 85 = B230FB engine 5 = ZF22 automatic transmission M = 1991 model year A = Uddevalla plant 049553 = individual chassis code |

thanx my friend atom >> but what the meaning of the information wich recorded in my license >> (like this pic. below) >> type : 740 GL / year : 1991 / >> if we look to the body NO. >> and remember that the license is issued by authority in my country >> is there any error with this license ? . . -- Last edit: 2016-03-30 20:15:30 |
◊ 2015-01-20 19:51 |
Yes, it's a 940 both by looking at the pictures and the 'Body NO'. |

If you are sure, it is either not its plate or there an error in the registry then (which would not be the first time) |
◊ 2015-01-23 20:41 |
. . hello sir >> I make the identification by my self and appeared that the number on plate is the same one on license >> which mean that the error occurred only in the license registry 740 instead of 940 >> so I think that error is probably made by human mistake ( employee mestake ) because of the 940 & 740 are very converging >> and the difference between them is number 7 >> so the plate is true and I have to review the department of vehicles in my country to make adjustment to my license >> thanx antp |

I meant the plate of the car from the TV series, not your car |
