This is cool, a Volvo TP21 from the 1950s

A few years ago, a friend of a friend, had one of those

The ‘f of f’ is a bit of a car dealer & once appeared on ‘Bangers & Cash’ after buying a Sierra Cosworth

I saw an odd XC90, when I was driving into Wakefield at tea-time
(on Aberford Road/A642, near Pinderfields General Hospital)

A 'first generation' silhouette
It had a roof-rack, with (maybe) 6 white LED' marker-lights on it

American style (.... what I think of, as 80's Pick-Up fashion) side-steps (full-length) with orange marker-lights
Then, as I looked in the mirrors, as it passed, another 6 (or so) red LED markers on the back of the roof-rack

Sorry, @Drago, no photographs, as I was moving, & it was before I picked my daughter up (or I'd have asked her to take a picture)

I had to search for this reply

I saw it again this morning, whilst heading to work, all illuminated like one of those trees that are put up for a fortnight in December
Unmissable!

Ordered a breathable indoor cover for the C70. Tres cool.

It's being sent by Herpes, or Evil, or whatever they're called this morning, so I might get it by 2027.

Photographs are a bit awkward, when on the bike, & it passes in the opposite direction
I will keep an eye out for it again

Ooh!, this looks gorgeous
Have a look at their other Volvos too

I'd love a P1800 or an ES but the prices of good ones are steep. An Amazon would make a suitable substitute though.

Oh yes!!!
A friends father had a P1800 for many years, that was just left in his garage, it was solid, but he just kept it out of sentimentality

Amazon; either a 2-door saloon, or even better an estate!!

The start / stop button on my 2012 V60 ejected itself last week, leaving some protruding fixings and the green glow of its back light.

I have carefully reattached it with superglue,making sure no superglue hit bits that were supposed to still move.
