Volvo 940 Turbo — 1998

The car is surprisingly original, well-maintained, and in such a well-preserved condition by the owner that it was predestined to become a collector's car already when it was new.

"Sounds like a dream find for a collector's car. The owner has been meticulous and conscious in taking care of the vehicle, making sure that it is in pristine condition. The car has a beautiful color, the right model, low mileage, and has rarely or never been driven during the winter season. It's everything one would hope for in a collector's car."

Description

The first and only real owner and user received the car in February 1998. Jan Möller had a small haulage business and drove hard with his life and work. In the first few years, the 940 rolled relatively normally, but still sparingly. He had heart problems, calmed down and got a dog, a German shepherd, to take care of and move around with. But of course, it was not possible to have the 940 with a dog. Jan got an Opel Astra wagon for himself and the dog. The 940 rested and was only used for occasional fine driving. And that fine driving consisted mainly of a trip to the inspection once a year for ten years. In the summer, of course. The mileage of just over 4,300 kilometers can be verified with all inspection protocols since the car was new. The current owner is Möller's daughter, who is now selling the car after the division of the estate was completed.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    This car has impeccable driving performance with good suspension, transmission, brakes, and chassis. All the maintenance has been done according to the book, and some extra service has also been noted. The engine compartment itself does not radiate any shiny polish, as the owner often protected mechanical parts and spaces with wax, which in turn attracts dust and dirt. But underneath, the surfaces are clean and can be easily washed and treated. This particular car is not equipped with the extra performance equipment Turbo+.

  • Interior condition:

    The interior exudes a new car feeling, it's clean, nice, and inviting. There are no visible signs of the classic material shrinking on the upper door panels, and the headliner is taut and bright. The air conditioning compressor starts quickly, and the system blows very cold air if desired.

  • Exterior condition:

    Beautiful sea blue metallic paint in an unusually well-preserved condition. No door dings, damages or stone chips. It's clean, tidy and polished. Good tires with plenty of tread, Michelin Energy Saver on undamaged original wheels.

  • General condition:

    An exceptionally fine example of the last model year of the 900 series in an extra desirable and sought-after version, ticking all the positive stereotypes for enthusiasts.

Facts about the model

The 900 series became known for being problem-free and reliable. As it was largely a further development of previous models, proven technology was used, which rarely caused problems. In turn, this could also be considered a disadvantage of the model with outdated fuel consumption and classic rear-wheel drive without aids against oversteer, which we today call ESP, for example. The 940 models equipped with a turbo could be upgraded with a package called Turbo+. This upgrade provided around 190 horsepower on a 940 Turbo with 160 horsepower in its original form and with a manual gearbox. Technically, the plus package was a solenoid valve and an extra control box that raised the boost pressure from 0.35 bar to 0.7 bar at a given rpm during full-throttle acceleration.

For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
