This year we have a P1800, an Amazon, a 480ES and the 240 that won the BKV.
We also have an Amazon, unused for over 45 years with only 15,000 on the clock.

Great show, thoroughly enjoyed my visit yesterday. Good to meet up with Chris Wickers again. That 240 is in stunning condition!

Thoroughly enjoyed the show.

Big thanks to Chris Wickers and Mr Isaacs for extending their kind hospitality on the VOC stand....the cuppa and cake were very much appreciated. It was great to have a brief chat - you guys were obviously VERY busy & the stand looked great. Awesome job

It was great to see the older cars on the stand. Was the 240 saloon owned by a guy called Tony? It looked familiar.

Still haven't seen a 300 series on the stand the last 3 times I have been

As V70CD said, we spent nigh on 8 hours at the show and we still didn't see it all. Thoroughly enjoyed it as always. The VOC stand looked great, and that 240... wow, that was better than new, absolutely stunning. The PV was pretty nice too.

Something I did notice though - the stands seemed to be getting smaller? A lot more of them, but smaller? Or is it just me lol.

To answer all three questions.

The 240 belongs to Greg and was overall winner at the BKV this year.

Yes, the stands are getting smaller, but there are more of them. Unfortunately we have to accept what we are offered. Although we have asked for a bigger stand for 2017 which is the 90th anniversary of Volvo Cars.

We had a 66 and a 340 on the stand last year.

Glad you all enjoyed it and, hopefully we can get a few pictures on here soon.
