700 Series Poll - 764/765 or 744/745 & others.

Prufrock · Apr 10th, 2012, 08:59

In advance of the forthcoming BKV (where we would like to gather as many 700s as possible for the 30th anniversary of the 700s launch), it would be useful to gather data on just how many and what types of 700 are owned by visitors to this forum.

Please help by participating in this poll.

Please indicate whether you have a 764, 765, 744 or 745 or a limousine or hearse - you can make more than one choice if you have more than one car.

Please post separately the registration letter model (e.g GL, GLE) and paint colour of your car. And importantly if you are able to participate in the Anniversary at the BKV.

I've not included the 780 as this was not available in the UK; however if you have one please post details.

Many thanks, Prufrock.

745 GL, F-reg, white (under the accumulated crud!).

Umm, for those of us who are ignorant and not VOC members ... what's the BKV...?

Chesh740R · Apr 10th, 2012, 11:32

1989 should be on a F plate but on a E Plate 744 Turbo in Black (paint Code 019) and if it doesnt blow up between now and the BKV i'll be there in it.

Hi Stephen the BKV stands for best kept volvo.Although some of us have been quitely compaigning to change it to just bring your volvo.Basically only volvo owners club members are allowed to park thier cars for show.If you turn up and not a member you will have to park in the carpark and walk over to see us.

I did this at first but decided to pay the yearly sum of £29 just so I could be a real part of the group.My cars never really fitted any categorie as thier are several categories for showing.Things have improved however.And now all members cars are parked on the field but thier are two rows,One row who wish to show them and another that don't.I just put"Do not judge"in the front windscreen.

I'm hoping as this is a one off for the anniversary the powers that be might allow non members to park with us as we need as many as possible to attend.
We will have to see what is allowed.Who knows after meeting all of us very nice people with mountains of knowledge you might just pay the membership cost?After all the owners club does pay for the running of this forum so the money won't exactly be wasted.You can get discounts on parts as well from volvo.Also discount with your insurance depending who you go with.

Also as a member you could turn up on the friday and bring your caravan if you have one,And a meal on saturday ready for the main show on sunday.BKV.

Any questions then just contact me or Prufrock and I'm sure we can fill you in.
Regards Brian.

1989 F-reg, 745 Turbo, 214-3 Dark Grey Metallic.

I was thinking of taking it 'out of retirement' and make an effort to bring it along, but I don't know when or where this BKV is, and as I'm not a member and reading Brian's comment I don't think I will bother.

Hi Baggy,

be great if you could"make the effort", BKV is near Newark(Notts), on the A1...I am hoping there will be some incentives for 700 owners to turn up in their cars for the 30th Anniversary event.

Watch the forum for updates.

Thirty 700s - that would be a result!

Cheers, Prufrock.
