Good! You now know what project 1155 means. I like to have a nice book to read over Christmas. I have been given a book about tuning Weber carbs.

Thumbs up Christer Olsson book

Don't have that book but have got one similar- just called Volvo Gothenberg Sweden by the same author and Henrik Moberger. Has the full history of all Volvo departments up until 1995 when my copy was published. Printed in Sweden with English translation.Published by Norden Publishing House Limited. 256 pages of text,100 black & white photos and 400 colour. An excellent book with loads of info. Perhaps this has been updated to the edition you chaps have. And, best of all got it for £10 from autojumble in Nottingham 3 years ago brand new !

Happy New Year to you all,

Richard.
