I'm not looking to be period perfect or concours but would like it to look pretty much the same as it wouldn't be fair to the original owners wife (my mother in-law) as she has such fond memories of the car. Maybe when she has departed I'll tear the rear axle out to put under a hotrod and perhaps cut the roof off to use the lovely big slab of metal on a Kustom If I can source some decent 14" trims I'll get the wheels refurbished as it is the only feature that lets down the appearance of the car. Pic below of an existing trim. As you can see however the logo was applied it has all but dissappeared with time. All 4 are the same. She does recall it losing one trim and having a problem finding a replacement many years ago. I hear there is a Volvo breakers in the St Neots area, off the A1 so I may take a trip out there.

My local breakers up in Cheshire (the Gods' own county) has a 1987 245GLE in - there are 3, if not 4, of these wheel trims in the car but I don't know what condiiton they're in , or how much they's want for them.
Let me know if you're interested and I'll ask tomorrow.

Wheel trims
The attached photo shows the 14" trims I am looking for (set of 4 if possible) for a 1989 240 GL. They look very similar, but I didn't know the centres popped out. Interesting .................
