I spotted this V70 in Split, Croatia this morning. Looks to be a well used well loved wagon. I peeked inside and noticed that it was an MT, exhaust stains on the bumper suggest that it may have been a diesel. Sure wish we could get these models in North America!

Captured these two beauties walking to a car show in Kelowna, British Columbia three weeks ago. The XC is featured in my favourite colour and was fairly mint, the 240 appeared to be an original paint survivor and one of my favourite models.

I am not a green car guy normally, but that light green color is one I really like. The red one further up the page is also a really nice color. I have an 02 in that color in the garage driving me (more?) nuts with fault diagnostics!

I like the Volvo diesels. I nearly bought a P80 V70 diesel automatic when still in Scotland, but my head was turned by a T5 at a price I couldn't refuse! The diesel with an automatic drove really well.

It seems like most of the XC 60’s over here in Croatia have the D5 or D 4 engine also.

Here’s a nice P3 XC 70 in an attractive colour, note the D4 badge on the tailgate!
