Right, box of assorted parts (all from 140/145/240 ish era cars) contains:

Manual window winders
3 x front grilles
Assorted bulbs
Wheel trims / hub centers
Wing mirrors
Headlight/indicator (Possibly 2 x headlights, 1 indicator, 1 x indicator lense)
Jack
242 fuel filler cap

It all appears to be "Genuine" stuff.

I don't think there are any - I'll have a look at lunch though!

Have you got a roll of leccy-tape in the car? (I don't think Ace Cafe will like it if we draw headlight alignment marks all over their walls in chalk!)

Not a bad turnout - 12 cars total, most we had at any time was 10. It was too dark for me to get any decent pics but I think a few others did get pics.

Award for dirtiest car goes to Anadinolin! (Nice to finally put a face to a name!)

I am a little disapointed with the whole night - there appeared to be no kind of "organisation" going on - Noone knew wether it was organised by Volvo / VOC / Ace Cafe / Other ... we all got on with it and mingled around though.

Looking forward to a much better turnout in November! See you all there!

AFAIK, it was the Ace organising it as the only info I saw was on their website.

The Norse Meet (on 24th Nov) is an annual one, and is organised by the Ace. However as it is becoming well established in the calendar, others (like myself) spread the word on various appropriate forums, so there is usually a decent turn out of Volvos and SAABs. It started out on a weekday evening, but as it grew, turnout became enough for the Ace to give it daytime weekend slot.
