Our Display:

Our display at this years Practical Classics Car & Restoration Show celebrates our 36th Birthday of continuous operation as the UK's 'Original and Premier' Classic and Out of Production Volvo Club.

To celebrate this milestone anniverseray, we will be exhibiting a range of Club Members vehicles, which includes a unigue Volvo 242GT Barn Find, which is the ONLY 242GT ever SOLD NEW in the UK - the model was never offered for sale in the UK, this being an owner 'Special Order' and thus is a unique example.

           This year sees the 40th Birthday of the launch of the Volvo 480, Volvo first Front Wheel Drive Model, which was designed and built in the Volvo Plant in Bourne, Holland - The car displayed is a rare early production Auto Transmission model, with ONLY 23K  recorded miles . 2025 is also the 40th Birthday of the Volvo 740 Estate & 780 Bertone Couple, being the last of the 700 Series models to be launched. Our Example to celebrate this event is a 740GLE Estate.

Our Club caters for ALL Volvo built vehicles and we are pleased to be able to display a Award winning Volvo N12 Truck, which is believed to be the only example of its kind in the UK.

To compliment the truck,740 & 480 vehicles, we are pleased to exhibit a Volvo V70 T5 ex Police Estate, which has been fully restored to its original operational specification, complete with livery, lights and internal equipment. we will also have on display a Volvo 245 Pick-up which was built by a group of Appretises at a Volvo Dealership as a project annd now  owned by club Members.

To Celebrate Volvo UK connection we will also have a Volvo 1800S, the model made famous by Roger Moore in TV's The Saint, which was produced at the Elstree Studios at Borehamwood, Hertfordshire. Bodyshells for the Volvo 1800 being built between 1961 and 1969 by Pressed Steel Ltd at their Linwood Plant, near Glasgow and hence Volvo's Scottish connection. Initial production, 6000 units were built by Jensen Motots of West Bromwich, England before production was transferred to Sweden in 1963. The example on our display is a replica of the final car used in the Series - Registration NUV 647E aka ST 1, which sadly no longer exists. Our replica is a tribute to the 3 cars used by Roger in the Series, only one of which still survives Registration 71 DXC aka ST 1 which is owned by our Club Founder and in the photo at the head of this profile

Finally we will exhibit our 'Barn Find' Volvo - A Volvo-Itera 'Plastic Bike, designed by Volvo in 1970's and built of recycled plastic
