Hi
Apologies for this being a bit modern, but it doesn't ring any bells with me so is it a model not normally sold here in this form.

I have been driving/teaching in Volvos since 1991. I had a 340, 440 mk1, 440 mk2 and now have a V40 and I used the local dealer for servicing so thought I had seen the various forms of 850 estates and V70s.

The mirror set up is wrong the door handles are flush flaps instead of "grabs" and the rear treatment seems wrong. yet the badge says it is a V70.

I know the lack of badge changes the look of the grill but even that isn't quite right.

Hmmmm weird that, it looks like an old Audi to me - wonder if they put the 5 cylinder V70 engine in it????

It's an old A6 with a bit of badge trickery.
