Yeah, nice. Factory car and not that many about. Loaded with gizmos though so they need to be working. I believe it has aircon with touch sensitive controls! They do need lowering a bit to balance the roofline though.

I think they're gorgeous. Fully loaded too, aircon etc etc, and those wheels suit them. They should have made a chopped down Bertone estate model too, just for the ultimate "What the hell?!" value! ;D ;D

Chopped estate? Rmad, forget doing the springs, let's do the roof instead!
The thing is, headroom for getting in and out is not brilliant as it is. I'm only 5'10" and often smack my nut on the roof. The seats in the standard car are about as far off the ground as a dining chair! Great if you have a bad back though!

I know what you mean, I've had old Volvos!  (only ever as old runabouts, never as cool modified retro cars but I love them even more for it!) |

You should try an Amazon estate - when a friend of mine (who's into hot rodding & custom cars) first saw it, he thought that it had been roof chopped, as the windows are so long and narrow  ;D  As for the 262C, that factory roof chop is great, as is the car! For some reason, all the ones I've seen have been silver, but it does suit them. Too modern for me though - no free road tax |

Chopped estate? Rmad, forget doing the springs, let's do the roof instead! Let's do both! Actually, to be more precise, let's ask Racer and ScrapingScrap to pop round and help us do both!  |

I think they were "big in america" (understandable, judging by the looks!). They were. Very ;D Don't see many anymore though. |

Where's the fun in asking ScrapingScrap to come play? He takes all the danger out of cutting stuff!

Re: 262C colours:
Other than silver, I believe only Gold was offered on them for some reason.
And this'll make you sick: the prototype was built on a big-bumpered 164!

Is anybody else having grief with the 'bay recently: I can get to it by typing in the URL, only by revisiting previously bookedmarked items. When I get there it's REALLY slow and "sticky". Is this a problem at my end or am I not alone? |

A 164 coupe would be interesting. About the colours, do you really need any more, all Volvos look lovely in silver, regardless of what model, even the lorries look nice in silver.

Volvo 480ES. I think you'll agree that this won't look good in silver - or any colour come to think of it Did they design it after an afternoon in the pub!?! |

I don't count those as Volvos. They were essentially Renaults rebadged, which is fine if you like modernish Renaults, but I don't, and they don't follow the traditional Volvo design philosophy at all.

...even the lorries look nice in silver. Better if you stick Weller 8-spokes on them though, eh?! |
