Look at the curves on this car! You can see some truck in it, the old beetle from VW is hiding somewhere in the roofline, the back has an enormous boot compared to the rather tiny back window. Those back wheel arches… super! All in all quite an interesting car to look at. Its estate […]

Volvo Amazon Estate
December 5th, 2007 · No Comments
When La Ds Margot spotted one earlier, I was quite excited. The Volvo Amazon is not a rare car at all, once you start looking for them. But an estate! I had never seen one of those. Or had I? Anyway, right next door to me, this old and rusty sorta-white Estate shows up sure, […]
It’s a Volvo Jim, but not as we know it?
November 4th, 2007 · No Comments
While walking to work one morning, I came across this Volvo. It is unquestionably a Volvo, but it’s unlike any other Volvo I know. It’s as if the designers of the 1960’s Volvo’s started on a new car, gave up, and were replaced by the team who gave us all those indestructible, awesomely ugly (so […]

Volvo 440 Toncar Estate conversion!!!
September 21st, 2007 · 9 Comments
this car is parked a few blocks from my house. I saw it a few times passing by, but unfortunately, I wasn’t fast enough to take pictures. It is just a ordinary ugly white Volvo 440 which was build in Born, a small town in the south of the Netherlands. However, this isn’t just a […]

Volvo Duett P210
September 21st, 2007 · 2 Comments
I was hoping to see something modern and fast today, but ran into this nice Volvo Duett instead. Oh well, it is a nice car so why not? This P210 Volvo was built between 1953 and 1969, but since it does not have a split windscreen, I reckon it isn’t an early model. It is […]
Alfa Romeo – Porsche – MG – Volvo

Back to Coolhaven, and guess what I run into on the highway? A small convoy of oldtimers, a sunny sunday is always a nice day for spotting oldies: a brilliant Alfa Romeo Spider 1600, a classic Porsche 911 Turbo, a MGB GT V8, and a Volvo Amazon, all nice and cosy together. What a lovely […]

Volvo 480 Turbo
September 10th, 2007 · 3 Comments
Returning from the BMW M6 to my car, I see this Volvo 480 Turbo. I know this first-ever front wheel drive from Volvo has its own little group of fierce enthusiasts, but I loathe the thing. Just look at it, it must be one of the ugliest Volvo’s ever designed. Time to leave Coolhaven and […]
Volvo P121 Amazon

I really like the lines on this old Volvo. Apparently, it is not a really rare car, if you start looking for them, they are everywhere, but still, I like it! The pale blue one on the pictures is here at Coolhaven, the nice and shiny green one I ran into on my way to […]
