Anyway, as far as I can tell, this page seems to be a history of individual Group A Volvo chassis, and two interesting things leap out- first a prototype Group A 760 Turbo at the top of the page (this is the pic I've seen before, although not on that site), and second a reference to an ex-TWR 240 Turbo, towards the bottom of the page, (after the ex-Volvo Australia chassis #603)....

However I was very suprised and also very glad that my homepage get visitors from all around the world.
Well this so called ex-TWR Volvo is supose to be an "experiment car" with thinner metalworks all over the car. And also widen in the back and the front of the car. However this havent been 100% comfirmed by anyone. TWR was involved in a project of his own with a Volvo 242 in 1987. Ulf Granberg and Win Percy was on the tracks of Donington Park, Granberg tested the car and Percy ran a few "exploratory" laps on Dunlop tyres. TWR sponsored Volvo in Australia and also at the Wellington WTC round and in Macau Grand Prix. Facts also told that Walkinshaw him self whould be co-driving with Granberg.
However I know little about this and got the most of the facts from
"Autosport" September 10, 1987.
