20/20, but only cos I cheated about the 240 trim question.

And yes, the answer given is wrong - NO GLE's had black trim here in the Uk.

17/20 thought I would only get 10 :P

BTW this a brill coffee table book There's a copy in Buckinghamshire libraries

1. VOLVO : THE CARS - from the 20s to the 80s
LINDH, Bjorn-Eric
Published by Forlagshuset Norden AB and Volvo Car Corporation, Gothenburg, English First Edition, 1986. Hard cover, very large squarish format book, 236pp, illustrated in colour and b/w. ISBN 9186442147. This book is a complete history of Volvo cars, describing the first tentative experiments in the middle of the '20s, the American-inspired six cylinder models of the '30s and the turning point in the company's history - the development of the P444 which proved to be Volvo's trump card, and which paved the way for the export successes of the PV544, Amazon/120 and 140/160 series in subsequent years. All of the cars are described in both words and pictures. The illustrations include over 300 hundred black and white photographs, many of which have been retrieved from files which have lain untouched for 30 years, and are here being published for the first time. All pre-'50 models were rephotographed in colour by Peter Haventon, and the book contains nearly 200 colour plates. It only provides a detailed description of the design and development of Volvo cars, but also supplies a revealing insight into the development of the Company itself.

Ahhh, yes that book is really quite good Mick, I have a copy myself! Sadly the usual small section on the 300's, nothing too big! I've also got a Volvo book based on the Australian market, called something along the lines of Volvo Downunder.
