Question Lakes Autos - Are they still open?

I'm in need of several bits for my 98 V70R (front wings, seat control packs, window switches, etc) and would love to hear that Lakes Autos
(Great North Rd, Wyboston, Bedford) are still open.

I would also love to hear from anyone who might have the said parts for sale.

My car is in Caspian blue, so hoping for a colour match to the wings if possible...

That's a mighty good question ... I'be been calling them on and off for the past few months but the phone just keeps on ringing without being answered.

Default Lakes Autos are Open but...

I thought I'd post an update with regards to "Lakes Autos" VOLVO braker off the A1 near St. Neots after my very recent visit. Just to let everyone know they were OPEN for business however Barry Coppen (the owner) informed me he recently lost his co owner brother Bernard (RIP) so currently he is manning the phones by himself which obviously is very challenging during these difficult times. According to Barry the best number to call him on is: 07958 750406 (if you call the landline number it will go to voicemail) as he's often outside plucking bits & bobs off cars to help other Volvo owners. If you're relatively local it might be easier to just pop in (like I did) otherwise please keep trying the mobile number I've mentioned above.
Quick disclaimer: I am not affiliated to Lakes Autos in any way however I have Barry's permission to share the above details on this platform.
