Any users work for the DVLA?

I don't know if this helps but all owners of classic Volvos should know about it: http://svis.se/about.html They are located 10 minutes from where I live. Too bad I haven't got a classic Volvo

Thanks Mr.P.

I could certainly pop in there but I doubt the guys at the warehouse could help me. At that place they store tons of discontinued Volvo parts and the men who work there are mostly retired ex. Volvo factory workers. This is what it looks like http://svis.se/svisdag.html You mentioned you might have this sorted by Monday. If not - let me know and I could make some phone calls or write some emails. I suppose your car was never registred in Sweden. If it was there is an other option to find the documents you need.

Hi pingis my reply was a bit tongue in cheek but I am very grateful for your kind offer!You're a gent.Maybe when I get a this registration sorted out and can carry on getting the bodywork and repaint done you may be able to help me out with some parts!Part of this cars' appeal is its 27k mileage.As far as I'm aware the world record for a high mileage car is 300,000 + FOR A VOLVO P1800!!!!!I can't verify it but the condition of the interior certainly bears it out.

That's what I thought

If I can be of assistance I will be glad to help.

Part of this cars' appeal is its 27k mileage.

Wow, that's low. Your car certainly seems to be worth some paperwork to get it back on the road.

As far as I'm aware the world record for a high mileage car is 300,000 + FOR A VOLVO P1800!!!!!

I have read about that car. It is an American P1800 Coupe. I don't think the Volvos made today will last that long.

That Volvo club warehouse is pretty accessible from the UK. If you get on a Ryanair flight from Stansted airport you will be dropped off about 30 minutes from the warehouse. (Hopefully - once Ryanair dropped me off at East Midlands airport instead of Stansted ) There is a swap meet there twice a year (I think) when Volvo fanatics from just about everywhere get together.

It's actually over three MILLION miles

Whoops!
