The good Volvo 960 sedan was in reasonable shape. Paint a bit faded and dusty, but that may have been caused by the 1000+ km distance between Shaanxi and the capital. It also misses a hub cab.
The 960 sedan was made from 1990 until 1998 with a facelift in 1994. Our blue Beijing car is an original pre-facelift example. Volvo offered various engines in the 960 sedan. The car that I saw did not have an engine badge. But we can rule out diesel. Diesel-powered passenger cars are forbidden in most Chinese cities. The most common engine for the 960 was the famous 2.8-liter PRV V6, with 170 hp and 240 Nm. The transmission was a 4-speed automatic.
The 960 sedan was not officially sold in China, so seeing one is a very rare occasion. May there be more!
