Were these an optional extra item? (I assume so but haven't seen the documentation on them). Also are they no longer available from Volvo? I see them come up second hand infrequently but they always go really quickly.

I think they were trim/spec dependant.

I.e. 'Turbo' cars - badged turbo, with the dash boost gauge, usually have them - along with Celebration, run out, specials, and i imagine the 'Sport' cars - with the tweeked suspension - had them.

I'd also keep an eye on ebay for cars being broken, but as you said in your post... they do go quickly.

Mine has a chrome grille and it’s a classic with all the upgrades and a b230ft. It was spec’d by the owner of a Volvo dealership though.

At least they're easier to get than an early 740 turbo grille. Maybe I need better connections...

Those are freely available in the same shop that sells fairy-dust socks for unicorns, giving them the magical power of flight.
