The most beautiful and classy Volvo after the P 1800?
For me, this is the C 70 first generation.
There is something very British in this car, other than the fact that the T5 was made in collaboration with TWR.

Other than that, a marvel. Most of all the T5. Fast, comfortable, top for long road trips.
Best,

Didn’t express myself
well enough, Nicolas. I meant it’s price in the late seventies. A Volvo 262C costed as much as a Mercedes S450 SE (W116) in 1977 (German prices).
Very nice, Nico! But in body style it reminds me of...
the early 6 series BMW. Best regards, Tony C. ...
Good looking Volvo.
Nicolas, not to hijack the topic but what do you think of the current Volvo lineup? Thank you. M4
beauty
I had the C 70 convertible on the photo for about 2 years. The design of the car was eyecatching indeed and it was a beautiful large convertible. But driving it was not such a pleasure. The 5 cylinder turbo with 200hp was relatively boring and had a very ...
