Any volvo you wanted? - Page 3

Probably an old PV544 for me

But I'd also be sorely tempted by a customised classic Volvo too

etc etc

I just can't leave cars standard unfortunately!

How many Volvo's we're allowed doesn't seem to have been defined so

A 480, possibly the best looking Volvo IMHO
A 262, for rarity and style
An 850, in racing spec just to shut up the 'Volvo = boring' types
I'll keep the V70 for a daily runabout
A C70 convertible for sunny days
If I'm allowed customising, a C30 but with the back end sorted out probably into a proper 2 seater sports coupe
as a nod to the present a V60
and to represent history something from the 20's or30's
presuming with this fleet I'll want something to transport them around, a Volvo FL10 truck from the 90's (most unfairly derided truck IMHO)

next tasks, win the lottery and persuade the wife I 'need' that many cars

No takers for a Sugga?
A cross between a Dodge command car and a Volvo truck with that certain Swedish quality. Olive drab yet funky.
Plus, I'd have "ooh, honey honey" written in very small script somewhere on it.
(clue; kitsch early Seventies pop).

For more regular cars though, it would have to be a 245.In one of the bold Seventies colours.
Best they made..though Amazons and Duetts are rather good. And the 164...

They also did civilian ones, if the green thing isn't your thing, as it were.

Well, obviously the 780 as I told my dad that one day I buy one, at the Malmo Motor Show in 1985 when the car was presented.

So since 2009, my pride and joy (I think most of you have seen ths already)!

However, a S60R or a V70R manual would be great fun, especially in Black with the Acatama interior!

I agree! I have an S60R but I would love an S80 V8 and then fit a sports exhaust to hear it properly!

Not a dream car - I already have my 500E - but a Volvo Duett like the one we had when I was a little boy would be interesting.
