Jag folks would, of course, be mighty proud of 2" SUs that they might be selling... and most of the Jaguars that used 'em would have used 3 of them. Only other semi-common car I've seen them on is a Rover 2000TC. Still a pretty uncommon automobile though, and I have never happened across carbs for the same. And I've looked pretty hard.

Another thought... maybe British cars of the '60s and 70s vintage that have V8s... specifically Rover and Rolls Royce. I've seen the twin SU setups in the Rolls where its basically one carb per bank of cylinders, and each carb sits at an angle... so that might solve the Volvo's angle problem. I only assume they are 2"ers though... don't know for sure.
