Thank you john for informing us of this sad occasion.
I remember you telling us all about his contribution to volvo in australia at your club nite. So my sympathies go to his family. Brian. |

From barn find to cover article! Probably the first Volvo 165 to be on the front cover of a car magazine! Although I´ve now learned that my car was featured with a picture and small articles in at least three car magazines when it was new in 1972/73. I know since before that it was in swedens biggest car magazine Vi Bilägare (that I work for, and thats how I found the car), but it was also in the american Car & Driver magazine and in Volvos customer magazine Ratten!

i met jj when i was in australia in october/november and asked him about the 165 and he said that it's going albeit slowly. it's apparently at the paintshop and waiting it's turn to get painted.
