1987 Volvo 780 Bertone review from North America
"An absolutely fine motorcar"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Rear brake caliper froze at 29k. Not Volvo fault, but 20 year service.
General comments?
Very good motorcar. Smooth, reliable, and quiet.
Exotic luxury interior. Custom fittings and appointments. Fine woodwork. Yacht level joinery. Fine materials and design.
Better handling and ride than SL. Heavy sportscar feel. GT like speed. Fine transportation, expensive care needed. Very expensive parts, but very reliable. A fine and exclusive ride.
