Finding one may be a bit difficult. I heard that most were destined for the Japanese market and very few were made.

Finding one with a decent mileage will be the hard part I suppose.

Additional features can include a small cooler/fridge and entertainment system.

The style was intended for the Japanese market for executives/plush company cars. I do recall seeing one of these on eBay some (long) time back.

The S90 Royal's were also used for just that, Royal's. The Swedish Government has them for the King & Queen (well, now it's probably streched S80's etc).

OT: Their kids were last seen driving Lexus's..... not a very good commercial I think.

Anyone seriously looking to buy a Royal should contact:

Gleneagles Garage
155 Victoria Road
Wargrave
Berks
RG10 8AH
England

01189 403228

http://www.gleneaglescds.co.uk

They're actually an executive limo hire firm, but I ended up there after winning some stuff from the guy who runs it on ebay, and it transpires that they were the main UK buyer/importer of Royals direct from Volvo in Gothenburg, and had 2 for sale while I was there.

it's www.trademe.co.nz

That car's a Thai assembled model without heated seats (front & rear) but all the other Level 3 goodies. It's actually my car's older sibling as its VIN number is only 5 places before mine.

Hi S90 lovers! I too have one of these babies and just love it to bits...Here in Australia no one knows too much about them so I thought I'd join a club and hopefully become more S90 Royal savvy. My question today is regarding purchasing a Mass air flow meter. I cant get an OEM for under $300au!!! Hell!! So it seems I must look further afield..and the U.K seems to have a few more options...like a second hand OEM shipped for under $100 or a brand new after market version shipped for about the same.. what would you fella's suggest out of these 2 options. Then there's option 3 which is a brand newy, shipped from Taiwan for $30.00!!! OMG...
