I've found something interesting. My '93 240 is 414 Ruby Red Metallic, a colour that from everything I've seen and been told, was supposedly only available as one of the special 240 Classic colours. However, it was built in December 1992 and most definitely isn't a Classic.

I've been a Volvo entheusiast for many years, but I don't think I've ever seen a yellow or a purple one.

Of course, if they were modern curvey ones, they might have not registered on my radar... I'm trying to imagine a yellow 440 estate, but still failing. Cue Photoshop, eh?

"Ice white" I think they call it.

Most people who have seen it say, "and how long will it stay white?".

"Technically speaking, always".

It is the nicest shade of blue I have ever come across on a motor car!
