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.

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...
