Incidentally, re earlier posts, there were 260GLTs but sadly not in the UK.

"The GLT Series was a replacement for the striking 242GT, and in Sweden the 240s in GLT equipment were known only as "GLT". You could choose between a GLT saloon with a B23E engine or a B27E engine, and an estate with only a B27E engine. The Dutch Volvo importer took only the GLT saloon with the B23E engine in the 240 range and called the car 244GLT. Instead of the Turbine wheels used in Sweden, the Dutch 244GLT had the wheels of the later 244Turbo, which was introduced in the second half of 1980.

The reason for having only one GLT in the Dutch range was, I think, because of the difference between the two 260 ranges. Sweden could only offer (there are always exceptions of course) the 262C and 264GLE, while in the Netherlands the 262C, 264DL, 264GL, 264GLE and 265GLE were available. All the cars, in both countries, were fitted with B27E engines."
