Uh oh, those photos are massive. Imgur used to have a re-sizing function but looks like not anymore. I will have to find a different host and edit that post. Later.

I last met up with Anders maybe 2-3 years ago. At that time he was definitely still playing with D24s. I know he has many other interests in other types of vehicles as well so it wouldn't surprise...

What type of turbocharger is that? It's not a stock D24T turbo -- maybe a turbo from something else?

That is true. Volvo stopped bringing in the 760 TD after 1985, then we only got the 740 TD for one more year through 1986. That means that almost all the later updates both to the diesel engine...

X1/9 sounds right. Seems like in many ways the '80s were Bertone's heyday. Designs that fit the era just right.

With the D24T/ZF swap, I guess the Volvo will be a 3-way cocktail of flavors from...
