And here's the specially modified version of a Volvo wagon for caravanners ...



Never been a big fan of Volvo's myself, but if some distant relative were to leave me one of these .................. I would be a very happy chap.



Better still, a wagon variant - either the ES GT or the ZES concept would do me very nicely. One of the best looking cars I've ever seen on the road, and so definitely nothing like a fridge. I saw one of these on the road in Perth recently - was the first one I'd seen in many years.

Wifey just bought a Volvo XC60 D5 MY12. Loves it. Upgrated to something bigger than her Hyundai I30. Goes like stink. Handles all surfaces magnificently.

I'll 'fess up.
Had a '75 244DL in the early '80s.
Still the best conventional vehicle I have owned! (The last, actually)

So, you've got me thinking, What do you reckon?

1999 Volvo V70 20V Auto

The fuel consumption is about the same as the Commodore, half the capacity, three less cylinders but is rated to tow more.
Could this be my new daily drive?

What do you think of a Volvo V70?

Nice car Mick, I bought one the same for my daughter-in-law.

I'd drive it.
It's a attractive price. Hopefully the parts availability and any repairs it might need are not too expensive?
