Does indeed look like a P1 going from bumpers and marker lights - a dealer must have had it sitting around for a hell of a time prior to registering it....

What we like to call the phase 1.5 model. Although identical in appearance to the phase 1 it has phase 2 seat adjusters, the heated seat and interior central locking switches & blank have a dip in them, it has a VVT engine and there's a blue Volvo emblem on the front grill. Just some subtle changes from the phase 1.

It will have phase 2 wiring loom with fog and headlamps controlled through the CEM.

Fresh looking motor

The phase 1.5? I believe production ran from mid '99 to mid '00, the change over period from phase 1 to 2.

They even have different suspension components from the phase 1 and phase 2, hence all the confusion in regard to springs etc...

This is obviously a very late registered car. Very last of the stock so to speak. That's my take on it anyway.

That ties in with what I though - hence my (for another 3 days) March 2000 T4 being P1.5 which I knew (originally had a blue badge)... Someone must have held onto that one for a hell of a time before regsitering it though!!

I'd say production started at the fall of '98, as I've seen one or two early ones registered that year. A lot of them have the 'Spectra' alloys that were part of the XS trim and have a generally different range of wheels/hubcaps to the Phase 1.

You're talking at least two years the above car has been hanging around in a dealers/compound before registration.

How did you come to that conclusion? Everything from the interior trim to the type of engine fitted clearly makes it a phase 1.5, which wasn't available until around '99.

I've seen a few Dublin registered phase 2 X40's with '05 registrations. Last of the stock I reckon...
