Volvo 960 Swedish member (New pics 8/12)

PostitusPostitas Bear » 17 Juul 2010, 01:21

Hello!

Hope it's okay to write in English, my knowledge of the Estonian language is minimal, unfortunately: (

My name is Bear/Björn/Karu and lives in Gothenburg, Volvo's home town here in Sweden

Tallinn is a city that I think is very beautiful! There are many good hotels and restaurants in town! Now Tallink have bought new fine ships so the travel to Estonia is even more better than before :) In addition, Saku is one of my favorite brands!

So when I saw that there is an Estonian Volvo club so thought I put up some pictures of my car, and information!

My car is a 960 from 1995. The first owner was a senior manager at Volvo, which brought it directly before he moved to the U.S., but it is sold at the Tourist and Diplomatic sales out at Volvo Torslanda. So it is equipped as an American Volvo with a lot of extra equipment such as glass sunroof, power seats on both chairs, leather chairs, ECC, and more.
The car came home to Sweden in 1999 and the first owner used the car until 2008 when it was sold to an friend of mine.
February 2010 I bought a car and since then I have used it as my enthusiast ride!
I wash the car every week and it is running very little and only on sunny days!

Perhaps you would like to see some pictures? :)

Hello and Welcome to our community.

Glad to see some enthusiasts from overseas :wink:
Are you visiting Estonia/Tallinn regulary? (it would be fun to meet up on a sunny day)

I have to say, very nice 960, mate.
'suppose it's got the 3.0 under the hood? Running smoothly?
What's the milage on that beauty? ...because it almost looks like it's in perfect condition (except the drivers seat).
Always nice to see a late RWD Volvo that's been taken care of. In your case - a Volvo that almost fits in a museum :P


Regards and don't be a stranger.

P.S. I'm moving your post to "Foorumi liikmete autod". It's the showcase of our members cars.

760GLE: Thanks!

Now it was unfortunately a while since I visited Tallinn, the idea was that I would go there on my vacation in August. But now I'll move into a newly built apartment and it takes some extra time, unfortunately.

Yes it is a 3.0 liter engine, however, is the 180 hp. The engine came first in Sweden in 1997-1998 S/V90. But it goes fine, the service history of the car is complete! However, I have a little ticking from the valves when the car is cold. But I will test the Wynn's magic formula for valves;)

The car has rolled around 220,000 km, but it is fresh for his age, no door lookup or scratches on the bumper etc..

The only sad thing is as you say the leather, it is very dry, especially in the front seats. Unfortunately, the American sun taken hard on them!
But I bought a good product from Meguiars and treat one once a month, and it gets a little better!

It's nice to hear that you love your car! I look forward to seeing many fine Estonian Volvo cars on this forum!

Tanel: Thank you very much!

Regards Björn!

Anyway.. you have a very good looking volvo and i hope you keep it that way :P

245Turbo: Thanks! I really like that picture! Maybe there will be some more pictures from that place in the future :)

Corrado: It was very kindly said! The wheels I have on the final images is called Aquilla and was an original accessory rim to the 960th They will soon enter the painting, which is why the boring wheels are mounted on the newest pictures.
The dashboard is a bit angular, yes, but I still think it feels more exclusive than the one on 940
Thanks again! The car will continue to be in excellent original condition!

ziim: Stort tack ska du ha! Är du estländare som bor i Sverige eller hur kommer det sig att du kan Svenska? :)

Yes I will absolut go there! It´s about 220 km to Vallåkra from Gothenburg and highway all way. I would be happy if any Estonian Volvo brothers would show up! And maybe drink a glass of Saku or two ;) We will stay at a small hotel/guest house which is quite cheap and about 10 km from the meeting.
And the weekend before there is a big historic meeting for Volvos from 1927-2010 called VROM, it´s hold outside the Volvo Museum in Gothenburg. I
