Brief History
Since her acquisition, and due to the owner’s long-term work commitments overseas with the World Bank and United Nations, she was only used for short runs around the Surrey countryside on dry days before being loaned to the Bentley Wildfowl and Motor Museum in Halland, E Sussex, where she was exhibited from April 1982 to August 2004.
On returning from abroad, and having built an 8 to 10 car garage at his home, she was brought back from the Museum on a trailer where she has been nurtured in the good company of the owner’s collection of vintage and classic cars. A thorough and comprehensive programme of renovation was then undertaken, using genuine Volvo parts, to attain her present unique pristine and showroom condition. (Some £12,500 was spent on parts alone, not including labour).
Since then she has been sought by Volvo to feature in promotional material for their new range of vehicles.

About Volvo
Volvo has a rich history spanning over nine decades, marked by a commitment to safety, innovation, and Scandinavian design. Here's an overview of Volvo's evolution, including key models and the design and technological highlights leading up to the XC70:Early Years and Foundation: Volvo was founded in 1927 in Gothenburg, Sweden. The first Volvo car, the ÖV4 (Jakob), rolled off the production line in 1927. Volvo quickly gained a reputation for producing sturdy and safe vehicles.
Safety Innovations: Volvo became synonymous with safety innovations. In the 1950s, they introduced the three-point seatbelt, a groundbreaking invention that became standard in automobiles worldwide. Over the years, Volvo continued to pioneer safety features such as crumple zones, rear-facing child seats, and side-impact protection.
Design Evolution: Volvo's design philosophy evolved, blending Scandinavian simplicity, functionality, and safety. The brand's design language embraced clean lines, robustness, and a focus on interior comfort.
Key Models Through the Years:
Amazon (120 Series): Introduced in the late 1950s, the Volvo Amazon featured elegant styling and became popular for its reliability and safety features.
140 Series: Launched in the 1960s, it showcased Volvo's focus on safety and introduced innovations like disc brakes.
240 Series: Introduced in the 1970s, the 240 became an iconic Volvo model known for its durability, safety, and boxy design, remaining in production for nearly 20 years.
850 Series: In the 1990s, Volvo introduced the 850, known for its innovative features, including the first front-wheel-drive model with a five-cylinder engine.
XC70 Series: The XC70 debuted in the early 2000s as an off-road variant of the V70 wagon. It combined Volvo's renowned safety features with all-wheel-drive capability and a higher ground clearance for enhanced off-road performance.

Robust and functional design with protective cladding and raised ground clearance for an SUV-like appearance.
All-wheel drive (AWD) system for better traction on various terrains.
