presuming for a moment that this has the correct engine the K jetronic is deceptively simple to keep tuned but there is plenty of info on the tricks on the internet if you google ; the volvo's of the era used it on the injection engines

So I have a reply from the seller re the engine discrepancy: "I've asked my brother to send me the picture of the engine bay and I confirm it's a 2.3 litre. The previous owner was a fan of sport's cars and asked to install a short-5-speed gearbox when he ordered the car. Then after 3 months he had the car ( at KM 16'000), he said the engine was making a strange noise. So under the warranty he asked to have the engine changed. So the number of KM shown on the board is now KM 80'000 odd. He only drove it some two years before he sold it to us."

I also have the chassis number.



They continue with a minimum price... CHF30,000 which is about €26,000
