Volvo or other car sights in London?

Post by jtbo » 02 Dec 2005 05:42 pm

One guy from Finnish Volvo forum is going to London, actually leaving next morning, he was asking in finnish forum that is there any sights to be see, he is interested from Volvos and other cars.

What do you recommend?

Volvo 240 Diesel -83 -undecided-
Citroen ZX Dturbo -97 -daily- ImageImage

Not a lot! There's isn't really anything anywhere in the country that I know of in terms of any sort of museum / collection of Volvos...
