I read the V3C forum too :oops: The world is small :P

Mine is a saloon and smoke grey silver as yours. The 360 GLT Millionaire was a series of only 50 cars... and I doubt that the other cars are still alive :(

To retrocool: the GLE limited edition in UK was also produced to celebrate one million Volvo 300? Are you sure?

It looks as though the car from Chris's brochure retrocool73 posted the link to is no longer...... unless it's been off the road since 2000. Interesting that they left the plate on for the brochure, normally they put a Volvo logo on them or something.

There seem to have been various guises of "Millionaire" 300's - the 340 1.7 and the 360 2.0 ...

As usual, every market seemed to get it's own version :-)

Strange to have them rear head rests in a saloon, theyre always the solid material type here... and the number plate panel is body coloured too? Looks tidy though!
