It always struck me as odd how Volvo completely gave up on the idea of giving their cars a decent turning circle when the Mk2 V70 came out.  I know it's FWD, but so was the 850 and that could still make a U turn in a reasonable space.  The V70 needs full lock just to get round the M25.

I had the steering rack refurbished on my C70. When discussing it with the guys, they said that Volvo continued to use the 850 rack in the later V70 and C70s but with internal spacers to reduce the turning to accommodate bigger wheels. 
 

Seemed true as they were quite obsessive about me identifying the colour of my internal spacer before I brought it down to them. 
 

The C70 was pretty bad at getting round tight stuff but I forgave it for being cool as ...

Always did like the C70 coupe, guess a good shape can lead to forgiveness of faults. As for bigger wheels, at least you had some sidewalls, who would have thought they'd go out of fashion by the 2020s?

I really wanted one of these as a lad:

even though it was apparently utterly hopeless for its intended purpose, I still think it looked great.

Here's.... one of these. Absolutely no idea, despite the hyper-descriptive and meticulously written advertisement.

 

EDIT - seems to be a device called a CVE Omni, according to the internets.

They're trims. It's an 820i so it's quite low spec. 

Actually, to be fair to it, I think the 820is of that vintage only missed out on a CD changer and alloy wheels, unlike the early days when they went without electric rear windows, wood trim on the doors etc. etc. etc. 

Sorry, I can't help myself but pipe up when 800s are mentioned. Character trait.

With the links to fcaebook marketplace: Only the long links work for me, the abbreviated link such as for this Rover just take me to facebook marketplace and not to the item. Is there a way around this? (That doesn’t involve having a facebook account)

Not sure but just for you

P.S The facebook market place search is absolute dog shit. It's too busy trying to return what it thinks you're looking for rather than what you've actually typed in.

Sadly I suspect the days of this car being driven the way it was intended are long gone.

It's more likely to spend the rest of its days as a well protected investment.
