1995 T-5R Black. New work in progress.
1998 V70 XC Cross Country White.
1994 850 N/A Wagon Black.

1996 850R Wagon White.
1997 850 Sedan Red ( not white or black!)

I wonder how the volvos stack up against other cars of like vintage regarding a similar list?
Although I voted on the poll, I hope I did not jinx myself by doing so....
