It wasn't a local car, had a Parkside Volvo sticker in the rear screen, not sure of the exact colour but probably a grey, could have even been a Denim blue, which can appear grey in different lights.
Anyone been on that road today?

I did a 200 mile round trip from Lowestoft to Stansted Airport yesterday using A12 and A120 - I saw around 10 new XC90’s; 1 XC40 in Osmium Grey and no new XC60’s, lost count of previous series XC60’s on the road though!!

My dealer told me they have to put their name on number plates by law.

They are getting quite common around here now, I've just seen my second one now, in white.

I didn’t know that, like you say it's a bit over the top as an MOT failure.

I must say I am seeing at least one new XC60 a day and have been for a while, the S and V are still weeks apart though!

Saw an S90 on the M40 earlier today. In 13 months and 8k miles (about 5k of that on motorways) I've seen maybe 3 other V90s

Frank . V90 owner who should really save car details
