‘Run Of The Mill’, But Curious For Some Reason

Ah, the P2.

Most of the design was completed prior to Ford getting their hands on the comlany and almost destroying it with their breathtaking ineptitude, making that generation the last of the decent Volvos until the Chinese bankrolled the SPA series cars.

Those wheels aren't original to that car.

V70R wheels I believe!
Not d5 or whatever it is!

Xc60 was that on a pre ford chassis or not?

Sadly no, the original was a P3 generation vehicle, derived from thr Ford EUCD platform.

They went well enough, and certain engine options were very robust, but overall there was a lot of Ford component sharing the FoMoCo parts were built down to a price. Throw in very dicey Ford electrics amd they could be very troublesome indeed.

Same with the P3 V70. A decent drive, but a woeful departure from the solidity of the P2 and P80 cars. Mrs D had one and it was shockingly bad with rampant electrical problems at only 60k miles.
