240 Classic 1993:

Classics outside of the US never got the special "Classicnumber" ! The numbered 1600 cars (with the special plate in the car) was a special serie just for the US market.

For the rest of the world "Classic" was only an option package and they never got any number.

Besides that the very last 240 of all 240s got numbered backwards. Counting down to the very last car in the 240-series.....

All THOSE 240 cars got a special certificate (on paper) telling which of the very last 240 cars it was.

Counting down from number 240 (that got the first certificate) to the very last made that got number 1 on the certificate.

Confusing? It´s a nightmare.....

Many 240s sold in Sweden where BOTH one of the very last 240 cars with certificate AND a Classic. When one of those cars is for sale it´s very often told to be number "XX" of the Classics when it in reality is number "XX" of the 240 last 240s.

Have been talking to the people in Volvos archive trying to find out how many Classics they really made. The answer is that no one knows and they can´t find any notes about it. It seems like the "Classic option package" was installed afterwards. They just took a 240 out of the lot and put the special parts on it.

If you look at the chassis numbers on the numbered 1600 US cars you can see that there are many cars with LOWER chassis number then another Classic with HIGHER Classic number....
