I know this post is a bit stale by now but figured I would chime in anyway. I have this holder mounted in both of my P2s and I love it. very convenient and definitely not in the way at all.

Those early S/V70 Awds are rare over here as well. Even the XC was never very common. And since the awd is both quite useless and prone to break you barely ever see them anymore while the regular versions are still around in decent numbers.

Volvo had many issues with the early P80 AWD cars and up to the Haldex change over on the P2's.
