yep saw this in action on the m62 westbound 31/30 on Saturday. Lucky guy in a clio 197 spotted him just in time. Lucky for me I was in my transit connect that physically cant break the speed limit!

For the record it only has one additional aerial on the back too which looks a lot like a mobile phone type one. Driver did have a yellow jacket on though, looked about 50 with glasses on (but then I suppose all volvo drivers do lol)

this latest batch are 56 plates, with, so far, two prefixes, YE & YJ, spotted. So clearly less than a year old. Sorry, I can't confirm the exact colour nerd but they are both dark grey metallic, and if Cat says they are V50's I go with it. A Volvo estate to me looks very much like another Volvo estate.

Well there was certainly one around last summer. I saw it on 4 or 5 occasions. I have to say I've not noticed one since then though.

Obviously a V50 is the car to have!
