As I recall, the very early 2-series cars were not fitted with inner wing liners. As a result, the wings on ours succumbed to the iron ant very quickly - very unlike most other Volvos that we have owned. Our later cars were much better in this respect.

It looks like a nice car John, but a bit too pricey for me at £4750.
