Where are all the Volvos sold in the U.K made.

Mine came out of the Gothernburg factory.

Both my V70 models (1997 old shape, 2000 new shape) have said 'Assembled in
Belgium' on the VIN tag, and all large parts say 'Made in Sweden' on them. I
assume that Gothenburg make the parts, and the people in Belgium assemble
them into a car, by adding numerous German-made components no doubt!
Electrical systems for example (Bosch).
I think most of the European models are made in Belgium now.
What model/age was your car John??

To my knowledge only the XC90 is made in Gothenburg, because I have seen it
build.
C70 cabrio is made in Finland Saab factory.
The rest in Belgium.

Where can I buy a right hand drive  XC 90 at a better price than from a U.K
Volvo dealer.

I think you might struggle on this as demand far outstrips supply
currently.

It's a 1997 P plate S70 2,5 CD. There's a sticker just under the VIN plate
in the engine bay, attached to the bodywork, which states "Made in
Gothenburg, Sweden".
