Well Volvo made a touring car racer out of the 850[?] estate,so why not the 'ring,go there and have yourself a ball :y
As an aside,back in the mid '70's when there was talk of petrol rationing I got a book of coupons[which I still have :D]for the MkIII Zephyr 4[same engine as the Consul]this put it in the 1501-2200cc category and was rated at 14-19H.P. :o ;D ;D I think they used the [very]old RAC method of rating H.P.
