They were quite special I understand. Only around 100 in UK? Not for me though as they’re a hardtop and too old. ( I think)

I thought they canned the Volvo RHD estate in U.K., but not the LHD in Europe but then relented re UK .Is this not he case ?
MM Yes, Volvo took the V90 and V60 off the UK market assuming we all wanted the SUVs. They did relent so you can now get the V90 and V60. Both are sold as Petrol Plug in Hybrids and the V60 is also available as a Petrol mild hybrid My normal transport is a V60 T8, the Mog being kept for those nice warm dry days.
1956 Plus 4 4 seater

The mini's were great little cars, Sue had a Cooper from new and within 3 months it was having warranty paint around all the roof gutters, after the 3rd warranty paint job, we traded it in for a MG Metro Turbo, now that was a little pocket rocket but warranty claims again lead to us trading it I( after it sat in the garage for a couple of years whilst we were in Ireland ) in for new Peugeot 106GTI, kept it 2 years and other than servicing no problems, very chuckable fast car, just slightly cramped foot well for people with larger feet.....it was such a good car we bought another new 106GTI but it was built on 20th December, when the factory was most likely demob Xmas hols happy, and not the same build quality, had a few initial warranty issues but otherwise and excellent car. Loved the character of the mini. just couldn't live with the poor build quality. Great site for all the mini variants by model https://www.bmwgroup-classic.com/en/history/historische-modelluebersicht-mini.html
