I wonder how much longer a volvo is than a LWB SJ ;)

Think the wheel base will be too long for a LWB SJ

I've always had a soft spot for volvos my grandads had a 740gl, it was a tank of a car, you had to do at least 10miles before grease in the speedo drive warmed up enough to let the needle operate, it had heated seats that I used to love switching on at every opportunity and in the back there was a fold down arm rest. when you got in it had that fabulous Volvo fabric smell. what a great car!

The new ones aren't as good. Anything after an 850 (or since ford took over) isn't a propper volvo. They just arent bullet proof tanks anymore.
