Volvo Museum - Gothenburg
Hi all,
Right at the start of the year, when Coronavirus was barely a news story and appeared to be confined to China, my girlfriend planned a surprise weekend away for my birthday – to Gothenburg in Sweden to visit the Volvo museum. The museum had a special exhibit for the 240 model which was coming to an end, and so it was the perfect time to go – and given current events, who knows when anyone will be able to visit again. I took quite a few pictures - hopefully you’ll see something of interest… enjoy. Cheers Just so you know you're in the right place, the yellow T5r is on top of a luggage carousel at the airport... [URL=https://imageshack.com/i/pmb9tuhEj] And then to finish -the only 240 I saw 'in the wild' in Gothenburg |

What a fantastic set of pictures, 'Bugjam1999', a real sight for sore eyes - from he who struggles to add a single photo!!
We first went not long after it opened (late '90s). Would love to go again, but snookered now for taking the car since DFDS stopped North Sea sailings a while ago. Thanks again! Regards, John.

An excellent post with some great pictures, including of vehicles I'd never seen before. Thank you Bugjam1999.
Can I have the green dropside truck, please? (If not, then an F88 ...)
