I'll put my photos up of 3 of the convertibles that were on the Volvo stand; Didn't get one of the 480 protoype, but did of the other 3.

I now want a 780 as well....

They are very good photographs, thanks Karl. I must get a camera like yours so I can get good photos too.

Just wanted to say Thanks to all involved in this years NEC Classic Car Show - the stand was stunning, easily the best at the show and genuinely comparible to a manufacturer's stand. Very very impressive

I take it that the Volvo Museum contributed to the cost as it was obviously expensive!

The cars themselves were beauties - almost got the missus to agree to an PV445 restoration project lol. We went back to the stand not twice, but three times - which is quite a feat considering she doesn't like cars much!

Just being childish, the Volvo Enthusiasts Club looked distinctly amateurish in comparison

Great job peeps, thanks once again

What a show. Well done to the Volvo Owners Club for such a great display. It had to be one of the best at the show. The cars were stunning and it was well worth the trip down from Scotland. The guys on the Volvo Enthusiasts Club stand were very nice and very helpful. Think its time to join them as well.

Seven of the nine cars are privately owned, only the C70 and 480 being owned by Volvo. I don't know which Volvo budget it all came from.
