That is one beautiful model, silveruser!
I used to own one exactly like this, a red one, though it was a little bit older (1980).
I made several high alpine climbing trips to the Swiss alps from Sweden in the 80s, and I slept in the back (with the back row of chairs folded down) and also kept all my climbing gear there in boxes. I even had curtains to pull for the night.
It was a great car - I only had a minor incident on these trips, in the south of Germany, where we blew a little rubber gasket somewhere in the gas pump region. But there was a certified Volvo repair shop just around the corner, where German engineers in white doctor's coats took care of it, in a hall that was so clean that you could have eaten from the floor.
Great model!
