Yes I have this book. To be honest I have not read it cover to cover. It contains plenty of photos with info on all the different models and some concept cars as well as some production stats. It's a good read if you love Volvos as I know you do. You might find a cheaper copy on amazon.co.uk. There are some good photos like a 6-door 740 in the same rare colour as mine, and the front of the last RWD to leave the factory.

I just 'bought one now' for £16.99 !

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...=STRK:MEWNX:IT

However, £32.50 is still a very good price

There is one for sale in US on Ebay which ends today and was only up to 10 dollars last night and the seller is prepared to ship to UK

That would make a nice present I'm sure. Every year I hope to find some of those blue boxes that come from Sweden under the tree. One year my brother bought me a full set of mudflaps for my 740. They probably cost a bomb at full dealer price but I was very grateful to receive them.
