Never heard of one mate. Could be a dealer special?

I'm far from the best at knowing all the editions though. :lol: Whack some pics up!

Link the pics here. I'm not in a researching mood. :lol:

I may recognise something different on it, as I know more than I care to about these cars now. :roll: :lol:

Ah, it's you. I have seen your thread before mate. I reckon the stickers are dealer/aftermarket personally, as the cars trim level is GL?

Probably did depend from market and what customer took from options list ?

Sometimes those dealer specials were quite little, some different tape and wheels might been possible for some case, maybe?

Or some previous owner decided to name it and put tapes there :lol:

Anyway some Volvo dealership there might be able to tell if they did actually sold spirit versions of the car and if you are lucky they even might be able to remember what came in package.

Here winter tires, block heater + electric interior heater + winter mask block are sometimes put into package to boost sales.

privios owner called the car "white swan" :lol: but it may be just a name for it
can ask them, but i doubt they will know anything about it, my car started its life far up north in norway, thats why it doesnt have that much rust on it :lol:
my got block heater and seat heater? dont know if thats the right word :lol:

I think all Nordic models got heated seats, except those very old ones, not quite sure about 1.4 DL either, but usually that was part of Nordic package. in cars.
