And a black dashboard,
and a modified light switch,
and Volvo chairs,
and... and... and...

... and very little bling and .. erm ...

Still a lot closer to the '76 car than my '80 vario I guess ...

...and a smooth and bondo-free roof...and err, an ashtray where it should be.

In short, it's a million, gazillion miles away from being remotely the same.

I have it in my 343: it a bar of Ø12x265 mm with a small roll pin a 1 end:

What a great car!
Being so original; my '76 looks pretty much the same, but it's so far from orignal..

The door mirrors are of a different model, maybe part of the swedish specs? Just like the B14.0S engine.

The 6 digit odometer + the year code HC states it must be MY 77. (or do I start a giant discussion with this?)

Immaculate upholstery:

Yes, the door mirrors are Swedish spec, and you are right, it is absolutely a '77 MY car.

Yes, I have one of those in my '77 too. RJ, you probably haven't looked hard enough in the leather pouch inside the spare wheel for yours, all cars destined to have the black hubcaps should have them

Some really great pictures there! Very interesting.
