Over the years we've had two V70s, and before them a 760GLE bought solely to help with our last house move. The latter was bought for £125 with a slipping auto 'box, a top-up of the fluid solved that one, and it did a great job over a couple of months. We then sold it on for £100, still with MOT and tax on it.

Quite a few neat period press photos in the above link, Amazons, PVs etc.

They are apparently still going to supply the UK police forces:

“Volvo Car UK will continue to supply saloon and estate authority specification models to our emergency services customers,” reads Volvo’s statement. “This includes V60 and V90, together with their Cross Country variants, and S90.
“Authority specification vehicles have high performance engines alongside lower interior specification, with uprated payload capacity and upgraded brakes. These vehicles are not subject to the 112mph speed limiter found in all our other cars. Authority vehicles are designed and built specifically for the use of these key customers. They are available via the Volvo Car UK Special Vehicles department and can be converted for blue or amber light use"
