For Volvo Europe the Turbo was introduced for MY 1981 and got a higher grille from MY 1984. Hence this is a MY 1981-83. Volvo called their 1981 and 1982 model 244 Turbo, but possibly 240 Turbo or only Turbo for MY 1983. 1981 Brochure: Link to "www.volvotips.com" (brochure page numbers 5,6, 14, 15 and 24) 1982 Brochure: Link to "www.volvotips.com" (brochure page numbers 21 and 22)
