Looks nice, I have one the same year but it has the earlier radiator grilles, I prefer yours, and the door mirror that must improve rear view?
Good luck with the sale!

Doug.

Asking price reduced to £7495 ono for Volvo Forum members. Especially good for Londoners looking to beat the ULEZ charge coming in October.
