Default FOR SALE: 'VOLVO The Cars - From the 20s to the 80s'

FOR SALE: 'VOLVO The Cars - From the 20s to the 80s' (inc. History of the Amazon).
By Bjorn-Eric Lindh

This English version was published by the Volvo Car Corporation, Gothenburg 1986
Did you know that the name ‘Volvo’ comes from the Latin and means ‘I roll’ (and was previously used by a parent company for marketing ball bearings in 1915)? If not then the chances are you are missing out on a wealth of other Volvo- related facts too, so you definitely need this book!

This is a large hardback book with 236 pages many drawings, diagrams and photos, both in B&W and colour, detailing the history of Volvo cars. - Essential reading for every serious VOC member!
Translated from Swedish by the Volvo foreign Languages dept.
(Translation is flawless as far as I can see).

Condition is as new. Can send photos if required.

£20
(Plus Postage £4.50) or collect free from Ipswich

It's a plain brown cover (hardback), with just the title of the book on it. That was how I received it when I bought it new through the VOC some years ago. Yes, I can certainly send you a photo of the cover and any pages you want, but I have no idea how to do this through the forum site. I can send photos to you directly - In which case I will need an e-mail address please.
