About the Volvo Owners Club

The Club currently has over 5000 members, and membership is open to owners of any model Volvo, old or new. Each model has its own official, a Register Keeper, who deals with all enquiries for that model, and organises rallies for that model. Club membership gives owners the chance to get even more enjoyment out of owning their Volvo no matter which model they currently choose to drive. Four colour magazines are sent to every member each year.
The Club Officials are all volunteers and dedicate their time to the running of the Club because of their interest and enthusiasm in the Volvo motor car. Most have full time jobs. John Smith, the Membership Secretary, is a retired police officer and is paid by the Club for his services. He also undertakes the position because of his enthusiasm for the cars and the Club.

We are fortunate to have a supply of Volvo special tools as shown in the workshop manuals, to help make repairs easier and safer. These have been contributed over the years, and some have been bought. These are available to members only.
The country is split into Regional Sections, each having a Secretary who organises social events for that Section. Attendance is open to any Member, or persons considering joining the Club.
Members are able to get technical help with problems. The club has an official who looks after this side of things, and has a good selection of the correct Volvo manuals to refer to, as well as lots of experience. Three technical magazines are issued to every member each year.
Members of the Volvo Owners Club enjoy a discount on Volvo Parts on production of their membership cards at most Volvo dealerships in the UK. Some dealerships also allow discount on labour charges for repairs done at their workshop. We also have a special arrangement with a UK Volvo parts specialist who will supply members with new Volvo parts at special discounted prices, and arrange delivery.
A range of regalia and other items is always available from the Club Shop, and new items are regularly added to the list.
This web site has a lot of information for non members, including this very active forum, which has a wealth of help and information. For photographs there is the Volvo Gallery that anyone can upload photographs to. For current members, we have pages that contain lots of useful information, including Volvo workshop manuals, service bulletins, owners manuals, technical and general specifications of most models. With over 3800 locally indexed web pages and a site total of around 200,000 pages indexed with Google, and growing with regular updates, there is something for everyone.
