S90 Royal
 
Does anybody know something about S90 Royal? I know that they are the very top of the range and pretty rare.What is the chance to find one?

Hi,

I suspect something similar to the dropping from one of these:

If I remember rightly, only about 2700 V90 were imported to the Uk in the series life. Not sure on the saloon numbers, but they can't have been much better.

Not sure whether Pete, the Register Keeper, might be able to help you...

Edit: Found this:

Rocking horse - yes!
Couldn't find any pictures of hens teeth!!!

Looks like it was aimed squarely at the american market...

I believe that this model is a slight stretch on thje normal S90. I think the extra space in the back is about 6-8 inches. The rear seats are individual bucket style seats with knobs on - individual heating, reclining all electric control. There is a separate rear aircon control. Additional features can include a small cooler/fridge and entertainment system.

The style was intended for the Japanese market for executives/plush company cars. I do recall seeing one of these on eBay some (long) time back.

Re S90 Royal
 
I have seen the 960 LWB (whatever that was called - name eludes me?), but have never seen one of these.

Big photos anyone?

Cheers,

I think it was called the 960 executive, it had that badge on the C pillar :thumbs_up:

There was hardly any pics on google that worked but there is one here (not very clear though!)

It would have been in UK. I have just done a google search for Volvo S90 Royal and returned (among others) this site :
www.limos4sale.co.uk

There is one currently for sale (unless the site is old) in Strathclyde region, Scotland. Not much use for you in Santa Fe but try a google search over there and see what comes up.
