This is a U.K. only Volvo F88 equipped with (up to) 312 bhp special version of the TD 100 which was a 10 litre inline six cylinder Diesel engine with a Turbo. Markets with the steering wheel on the left hand side got the (up to) 330 bhp TD 120 (12 litre capacity). https://heritagemachines.com/restorations/1970s-volvo-f88/ -- Last edit: 2024-08-11 21:37:31 |

Not necessarily, as the F88-290 came with a protruding grille and a tilting lid beneath the grille. Plus a F88-290 badge. Compare: 1976 F88 UK: https://www.flickr.com/photos/45676495@N05/50287055622 1976 F88-290 UK: https://www.flickr.com/photos/erfmec/14572154537 |
