The chosen exterior color is Opalescent Golden Sand, a shade in the Jaguar catalog of the same era (Type E) associated with a fully leather-covered red interior. Spoke wheels are adapted to make the overall configuration as harmonious as possible. It underwent a complete restoration in our workshops between 2022 and 2023. In total, more than 1500 hours of work were necessary to achieve this rolling work of art. All invoices are available in the file, amounting to over €77,000! Absolutely everything has been reviewed and received the utmost attention in this millimeter reconstruction: the bodywork, the alignments, the paint which was then polished, the running gear up to the engine internals completely redone.

The reflections of this shade in full light enhance the sculptural lines of this Volvo and the very warm interior all dressed in red finishes to enchant you. The French gray card is in collection.
