V70 awd

Are AWD v70s apart from the xc model not sold in the UK anymore?

I have got a 2006 model and am looking at dealer config sites, Volvo sales and second hand sites.

They seem to have disappeared around 2010.
When I go onto continental European Volvo sites I find loads.

BMW are getting big with xdrive on all models now, so is Skoda and even the current Opel / Vauxhall Insignia has AWD / 4x4.

You can still get a V70 AWD here in the UK, the only problem is it has to be a T6 (304hp) with a Geartronic box.

I got my V70 AWD D5 in July 2010. I don't think that they were in the next price list issue, apart from the T6 as pointed out.

V70 AWD D5 would be what I am after, not T6. I am not the royal mint to print money...

You'll be looking for a 2010 model then or earlier.

Unless you can specify RHD from one of the continental websites?

Oddly, though delivered in July 2010, it was allegedly a 2011 model according to Volvo's system. It was just at the time the sale deal from Ford was completed!

There's a chance I might be selling mine in the summer.
