Light blue 95:




Dark blue 96:



If you want (I know you didn't ask) a personal view: Always stick with the type-plate. Original cars today keep higher value when held original spec..

The dark blue will be extremely beautiful with chrome and all - downside is quick dusty look, so need a bit more washing..

thanks for the pics I am working through the blue's and it helps a lot to see them in the metal, i think we are still going with the 89 blue but it is interesting to see the other paint codes, so if anyone out there has the other blues as well. as if you see our other thread about gracie they were talking today about getting to that stage
thanks jayne

Are the wing mirrors on the car in the pictures a stock item for the earlier estates?

It's a good colour, should look tasty.

Go back to my post, 5th July for light blue #89.

If you refer to these kind of wing mirrors:



Sorry for the image size..

- Yes, they are the wing mirrors Volvo sold for the Estate (and fitted one of, on the right wing on the early 1962-64 models, from factory for Swedish market)..
