With some fresh paint on the wheels you'd have a really classy barge

Thank you, that's what I intend, a fully functioning road yacht that will get some attention, be a pleasure to drive and look great. The wheels are on my todo list and I'm toying with the idea of whitewall tyres - I know not strictly original but would look cool,

Great what makes you think it's a 244 rather than a 240? There was some insurance confusion when I tried to insure this car as they had it on the database as a 244, but I was under the impression it was a 240 as per he rear badge?
As for the Suzuki, Plenty 410s end up in Mongolia as they seem to be a good candidate for the mongol rally with there 1lite engine, a shame really, but on the other hand if they didn't go over there they would probably end up in a scrap yard, these suzuki's can be serious rotboxs!

I think it's inevitable that there'll be a few teething problems with a car of that age, especially if it hasn't been used much recently, but once you've sorted them out I'm sure you'll really enjoy the car, it looks lovely.
Just re-read your post and seen how low the mileage is, not surprising that there a few niggles to start with.

Brilliant that's exactly what I'm looking for a wealth of knowledge to guide me through the trials and tribulations of Volvo ownership, I can't help but feel it will be a long term thing as I'm a bit of a hoarder, but I'm going to do my best by this 'little' gem,
