Unfortunatelly this doesn't make sence as the 760 was didcontinued in June 1990. Two options: - A very late registered 1988-90 Volvo 760, or - A 1990-94 Volvo 960, which I didn't know was available with Turbo.

As Volvos are a foreign planet to me, I offer this information without any recommendation on what to do with it. UK had 960 entry model of 2.3 Turbo saloon and estate with 165bhp Sept 90 - Sept 92. L62 SPW was issued Jan-Feb 94.

wickey ◊ 2012-08-15 13:33	there are few clues. long bonnet indicates facelifted 760 or 960 pre FL from the front view. Turbo engines were available for both, but 960s are quite rarer. Anyway this is for sure a 760, because 960s didn't have the VOLVO sign on front wings above indicator.
