It was a hand me down from my parents. I got it with over 250,000 miles on the clock and proceeded to add another 150,000. Despite my best efforts, it was sold with the clutch it left the factory. 

Awesome cars!

A car I bought in 2003, which I kept three years. The line was super elegant, especially the 3/4 front side, the engine was top ( 2, 3 l prepared by TWR ) with its 250 HP, which was something at that time. And the comfort was great. The big issue? The tur...  

A lovely car.

In the UK we had the 850 T R. An estate that was blistering. I always lusted after that one, but it was never to be.

Did you know that in 1979 Norway and Sweden agreed the the Norwgian government should take over 40% of the shares in Volvo in exchange for oil rights in Norway. The shareholders said No.

Now the oil fund in norway just has a market value of NOK 9.718.612.000.000,- Maybe a wrong decision for Volvo and a great outcome for Norway 😂 Just some fun facts!!!
