gr,walter

ps,i think you be missing the old" girl"

I will miss the old girl she is a fantastic car

I remember you saying before their was only 1 in Holland It would be great to know how many were sold worldwide and where they are all located. Not sure why the white ones were sold in Europe as they were meant for the USA market, they also did a platinium edition for the USA market.

Hi St5ve,

Really hope you got your price for her. She's a real beauty and you have put a fortune of work/money into her. Would have ripped your arm off myself at that price but I have an aversion to automatics unfortunately :-(
Just been reading on the forum about someones conversion of an automatic to a manual and it looks like an absolute nightmare (way beyond my capabilities anyway) :-(
Any idea where the white man. est. is now and if it might be 4 sale ??? You might pm if you know - would love to acquire it if there is any chance !

Cherry1809 bought the manual estate I don't think he will be selling as he was looking for a long time before he bought that one. If you think the work is a bit overwhelming (it would be for me) look up a chap called Tim Williams on T5D5 in my opinion the best independant volvo mechanic in the uk.
