G-MANN ◊ 2007-11-19 19:00	This seems to be a stretched Volvo. There's a little emblem on the C-pillar. Used for all the car interior scenes in series 1 (because of the extra space for the camera crew). In episodes 1.1, and a couple other episodes they seem to use a long wheelbase Volvo for interior shots but this one has darker coloured seats, otherwise it looks very similar to the Volvo used in episode 1.4. The interior of the stretched Volvo is used again in two short scenes in episode 2.1, the first one-hour special "Rise of the Nutters": -- Last edit: 2010-06-12 00:41:17

volvist ◊ 2007-11-20 19:30	This is a Volvo 960 Executive 1995-1997 or a S 90 1997-1998 and it is a Executive 1 means a 5 seater
wickey ◊ 2007-11-21 14:00	volvist is right as usually
G-MANN ◊ 2007-11-21 17:08	If you look closely at the first 2 thumbnails, you can see that is a specially stretched version with an extra compartment in the middle. Does that little emblem I've mentioned mean anything? I've heard of the long wheelbase version of the Volvo 940/960 with a longer rear door, this looks like this: http://www.orebrolimoservice.com/default.asp?page=fordon, but an extra long stretch version. Notice how the little window behind the door on the C-pillar isn't really a window. Did Volvo make stretch limousines in the factory, or where they done externally (after production) by private coachbuilders? -- Last edit: 2007-11-21 17:30:02
wickey ◊ 2007-11-21 19:51	G-Mann is right - the car seems to be similar to this one http://www.orebrolimoservice.com/img/volvo_pull_1.jpg And I believe they did not made them right in the factory, but am not sure
volvist ◊ 2007-11-22 19:23	Yes my mistake I did not realized the Car is so long when I have look to the Pictures, I think the normal Executive was manufactured by Volvo but the Cars with extra long wheel base are for sure produced by special Body Shops but I am not sure to. -- Last edit: 2007-11-27 00:56:23 (G-MANN)

The stretch limousines were commissioned and sold by Volvo, but the coachwork was done by Nilsson of Laholm/ Sweden as Volvo´s associated contractor. If the car shown here is a stretched version, it was built by Nilsson as well.
