It's a Volvo thing

[svensktoppen]

TIL: Volvo built this short wheelbase 240 estate as the very last 240 to leave the production line. It still exists in Sweden, allegedly in the collection at the Volvo museum. They can be very whacky over there in Sweden, lol.

A bit like a Volvo version of the SWB Audi Quattro coupe

Anyone for a set of 18 inch Volvo Medusa alloys? In dire need of a refurb (which is why I bought them from a scrappy but never bothered doing it) and one had a small crack per picture. Make me an offer if you want them. 2nd pic typical condition of the face on each

"Small crack"

"Small crack"

I suppose I should have just wrote 'crack'

Teaser.....

Anyone know of any Ph2 cars breaking near Bangor? Need a fuel door, S60 / V70

 

[ilovequo]

I’ve bought a few bits off this guy on Facebook… Posted them down to me, no hassle

 

[svensktoppen]

Should be plenty on Ebay, etc.

Or the usual suspects, like Skandix or Pfs Volvo.

I've been in touch with John, was hoping for something local. May need a head unit too so will get a list together and probably go up and see him

Love this V70!

TIL Volvo sold a series of mixed cassettes back in the eighties to show off various hifi systems in their cars

Volvo doing Volvo things....

In other news, anyone interested in a 5 berth caravan??

 

[Boydie]

Grew up with Volvos taking us throughout France towing the caravan - great cars. Think my dad had 2 850's (gold and silver) and a V70 (purple'ish)

Volvo UK has killed off *all* of its saloons and estates

And you know what that means: Volvo now ONLY sells SUVs

www.topgear.com

 

[svensktoppen]

Saw that too, tragic! Just bl@@dy stupid SUV things from now on It's the way EV are going to fit big batteries I suppose... Just doesn't feel like progress, but hey.

Glad I've got two proper estates now, I'll be a millionaire in a few years when they can't be bought any more

I have the MY22 Volvo S60 petrol with Polestar software update. Brilliant car, but there's no way i am going for an electric SUV when its time to change. Petrol all the way for me.

Took me until I was 44, but I done it!

Was never interested in the sports cars, my Dad drive Lada's for years and I was heartbroken when he changed it a week before my test for a Fiat Uno cause he thought it would be easier for me to drive

As you will see, neither of mine are garage or trailer Queens

Coffee served out the back of this old volvo at the weekend - both unreal!

Are the wheels on the nearest one for sale

Hmmm maybe in a while, they’ve pretty good tyres on them, was thinking I’d run them down then maybe switch to a set of xc70 wheels I have with all seasons on them…
