2014MY XC60 ordered - Volvo #7

So Volvo number 7 is on order and it's a big change. After 26 years of "ordinary" Volvo estates, from a 245 through to three V70s, I'm going for a baby Tonka toy car!!
All the V70s have been AWD as I tow a caravan a lot often on wet grassy fields so the AWD of the XC60 is not new. I have not been happy with the towing dynamics of the current V70 but a trial tow with a XC60 showed it to be better, hence the unplanned change after only 3 years.
And my V70### number plate will leave me after 12 years of use; the new car will have a X60### plate that I have bought from DVLA.
So it'll be an SE Lux Geartronic in Twighlight Bronze with Merac black wheels and G10B beige interior. Added is winter pack (now with heated screen) sunroof, wood trim, laminated side windows, Tempa spare wheel and towbar. I have also taken option of 5 yrs. servicing for £500. Delivery June/July which saves me MOT, service and RFL on the V70!!
Happy days.
