OUR CLUB DISPLAY: 'VOLVO'S HALL OF FAME'

Our Display at this years Lancaster Insurance Classic Motor Show celebrates 'Volvo's Hall of Fame'

We celebrate the 50th Birthday of the Volvo 200 Series, Volvos most successful car, selling over 2,8 million between 1974 and 1993. Our display vehicle is one of the very last Limited Edition Volvo 245 Torslanda Estate 240's produced

40 years ago Volvo returned to Motorsport in the British Touring Car Champioship (BTCC) but not with just any Volvo but an Estate! The now famous Volvo 850 Estates drived by Rickard Rydell (who would in a later season win the Campionship in a Volvo S40) and Jan Lammers. Our display will feature one of the Estates used by Jan Lammers in 1994 Season

With Volvo now going to sell Estate cars in the UK once again, we celebrate the Volvo Estate, the Volvo 145 put Volvo on the map as the major producer of large reliable safe estates.

Any Hall of Fame must include Volvo Trucks. Fore without them Volvo would not be here today. In the early years of Volvo, Truck production was greater than cars. Today the Trucks are still owned by Volvo AB where Volvo Cars are owned by Geely of China. Displayed is a Volvo F88 one of the first models sold here in the UK. and changed Truck design forever.

Volvo produced cars around the World and not just in Sweden. To celebrate this we will exibit a possibly unique Volvo 164 - The 164 is ften affectionally know as the 'Swedish Rolls Royce', this Volvo was built in South Africa and originally Registered in Capetown.

In the 1980's Volvo developed a Bike made from recycled plastic - the Itera  must have a soace in our Hall of Fame
