I remember reading in the local newspaper (back in the old days in Sweden) that Queen Silvia of Sweden had a dark blue S90 Royal. There were a few pictures and the emblem were clearly visible.

Will try and find some pictures.

I want one (sons are 6' and 6'-6").

I'm wondering if they made any in Left Hand Drive?

The Royal is very similar and as far as I know the only difference between the Royal and Exec is that the Royal came with 'Hermes' leather...

I use my S90 Exec everyday and I do lots of miles in total comfort, I think it's about time I gave it a good fettle and took it to a VOC club meet, mean while you can look at some pics of it in my gallery --> http://www.volvoforums.org.uk/vbpicg...?do=view&g=781

if that link doesn't work just go to members cars and search 'executive' and mine is the S90 LWB



Georgeous motor, first time I've seen one

It's missing the air guide.

I wouldn't mind a S90 limo with lounge spec.

Yeah, shame its not the plush model with the extra bits in the rear.

A 960 executive estate would be brilliant.
