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....

P1 interior as well

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

I thought they were 2001, not 2002??

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.
