That looks very similar to the '75 (N) car that we owned, Alan, even down to the colour! Ours definitely had fixed stainless steel door mirrors though, not unlike those on the very late 1-series cars. At the time, we had two 2-series cars in the family, before moving on to to 7-series in the late '90s.

As I recall, the very early 2-series cars were not fitted with inner wing liners. As a result, the wings on ours succumbed to the iron ant very quickly - very unlike most other Volvos that we have owned. Our later cars were much better in this respect.

Regards, John.
