Go to his website and the news tab. He has a weekly blog, several references over several blogs and in some cases the reason why.
In his words the system has been consigned to the bin

The car Adam has now was owned by Ted Wills for many years and was / still is a very keen volvo nut but sadly due to health ( an eye operation ) had sold the car many will remember him with the car at all volvo events like the B.K.V etc .
But he loved the car that much he could not bare to just look at the car sat in a garage unable to drive his much loved P1800 .

I do know Ted would be thrilled to know his car is with Adam as he's very much on the same wave length as him a True Volvo Enthusiast that works on his own car

Kind regards
Robert.w

Oh! I didn't know about that book. I'm going to have a go at sorting out the rev counter there as well as the pulsating speedo which I will have a closer look at the cable

Thanks for your kind words there Robert!

2 Volvos technically the same but so different in many, MANY regards

That is a great photo to concentrate the mind with the visual reference of the two models side by side.
