Some piccies. I got there so late, nobody was with their cars and somebody had nicked all the number plates ;-0

As a result, I don't really know whose is whose, so now's your chance to claim your car!












Cheers James for all the organising effort, etc. It was a great place to visit and not driving there did (selfishly) mean that I could partake of the abundant spirit more than others ;-0

Great pics, and excellent to see you, Jon - thanks for making the effort to attend!

cheers

It great to catch up with mates, I had an absolutely brilliant time in the museum, thank you very much for organising it James.

Did you take any photos of the other cars Jon?

Hello, do you mean these ;-?

My picture editing has gone a bit wonky, sorry.

Is that an S40 soft-top?

[foggyjames]

Great pic!

That's a C70 (the coupe or cabriolet version of an S70/V70 on the P80 platform), and yes, that one is a soft-top. Quite fun things, and quite cheap at present. IIRC, the C70s were all built by Bertone in Italy, and the one downside is that there are places where you can tell...! The other bit of C70 trivia I have is that (as far as I know) it was the first production car with a properly premium audio system - electronics by Alpine and speakers by Dynaudio. If you find one which hasn't been blown up, they sound remarkable (especially for a product of the 90s).

Thank you. I've got a better one here. Terrible sight really cos their number plates were all nicked, too ;-0

I just checked and the thief has not only returned the numberplate for my 940 but refitted it in the exact same manner! Very good of them

Ha ha!

I'm getting carried away with the smudge tool.
