On returning from abroad, and having built an 8 to 10 car garage at his home, she was brought back from the Museum on a trailer where she has been nurtured in the good company of the owner’s collection of vintage and classic cars. A thorough and comprehensive programme of renovation was then undertaken, using genuine Volvo parts, to attain her present unique pristine and showroom condition. (Some £12,500 was spent on parts alone, not including labour). Since then she has been sought by Volvo to feature in promotional material for their new range of vehicles.
