What's the story with the rear side windows? Did they intend to have them opening then change their mind?

[Dick Cheeseburger]

Volvo looks lovely. What happened to the Montrose though? Had real soft spot for that one. Gutted if you've sold it.

The rear section opens- they're hinged from the front edge.  I'm not sure what use that would be unless you had the 7 seat conversion in the boot. 

[bicycle repairman]

[bicycle repairman]
