Mine at the top. Photographer took the picture of it's best side.

Really enjoyed the day, so thank you to the event organisers etc.

My favourite were the p1800's and got to sat in a PV544 with red interior, it was immaculate along with the other sport model. Loved the "barn find" unrestored 145? In white/beige, at least it has a life and is honest. Also drawn to the 120 series.
Liked the 960 limo, the grey leather seats looked so comfy. Thought the 740 limo smaller so more practical to use everyday. Liked the 780 Diesel.

All in all a good afternoon out.

James

Cool A big thank you.

Evening to Mark Ryland and Psl,Thank you very much for the photos, I am at present, trying to figure out if I am inspired or depressed,or a mix of both, looking at so many beautiful,very clean, shiny & lovingly cared for Volvo's.

Thanks again,Regards,Keith.

Wash your mouth out with Super Unleaded this instant! How dare you associate the Devils Fuel with a car as beautiful as the 780???

Joking aside, i know Volvo made diseasel 780s but to me, a definite petrolhead, a car like the 780 should have a petrol engine, preferably the V8 that the PRV V6 was meant to be. I'd settle for the full fat 170bhp B280E thugh!

Looks like you all had a great time there, hopefully next year i'll be able to plan things differently and bring mine along to make everyone elses look better!

LOL For me I'd have a 780 with a redblock turbo motor. Colour red with tan leather. It was very enjoyable but a bit too hot for me, but the breeze was nice!

Mark,
sorry to have missed you and the forum guys who help and keep me entertained on here,but I decided not to bring the Amazon as although shes now drivable still bears the scars of age and storage.
Underneath is excellent, resin 2 packed and black,suspension looks brand new,engine rebuilt and the list goes on.
I was going to trailer the Ammo' with my 940 so 2 birds and all that BUT I have "Ted" the chocy' lab and felt the day was too much for him so it's Sywell I think for me.....sorry to have missed you all, V.O.C did a good job by all reviews,hope the sun cream worked for everyone.
Regards all, Andy ..................and Ted

What an amazing day out. 24 cars in the 700 / 900 section. We had to start a second line, easily the largest section at the show !

Great to meet all the people from this forum and the Facebook guys. Cant wait to do it again. Will get photos up soon.
