Volvo Klassieker Beurs (Volvo Classic Fair) Rosmalen, 2014

Post by S10NPH » 29 Sep 2014 09:01 pm

This weekend, I went to what was billed as the biggest classic Volvo show in Europe, in Rosmalen in the Netherlands.

The show itself consisted of club stands and displays, and dozens of parts selling companies. It was really so good to see such a vibrant parts community. There were literally hundreds of Volvos in the car park, ranging from PVs to Amazons to 140s to 240s. I have never seen so many Volvos in my life!

Here is a photodump of some of my favourite cars, be warned, there's quite a high 240 content!

An '82 (I think, can't remember which dashboard it had) Winner:

A slightly out of place 2CV:

Very tidy '84 360 GLS
Image

Image

A variomatic saloon:

The star of the Volvo 300 Club stand, a 360 RSX1:

Image

A GLT at first glance...
Image

But actually a variomatic in wolf's clothing!
Image

Image

Image

This was the tidiest 300 there, an '86 I think
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

This 242GT was surprisingly rusty:

Image

Image

'79 343 owned by Colin Haselaar from V3C
Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

Image

And to cap it all off, this stunner parked right next to us at the Eurotunnel waiting area in Calais:

By the way, these photos are at 1024x768, and still don't fit on the forum. Surely we don't have to go all the way down to 800x600? That's the internet of the 1990s!

Nice DS decap (open and ready for stowaways :P )

That first blue 1982 is a Michael - with older style skinny seat and steering wheel. It's so povvo spec the dash doesn't even get a clock.

Brilliant pics Sion... looks like a nice varied turnout, some unusual specs too :) Is this an annual thing? Would love to take a trip. Which of your many 300's did you take ;) ;) (ahem!)
