Breakdown of Volvo modelnames:

2:4:2

200: Family name. The volvo 200 series cars were Volvo's most popular and universally recognizable model. 100, 200, 700, 900, 800, ect.

4: Submodel. Generally, denotes engine size (number of cylinders) but can be used to indicate trim level. i.e.: The Volvo 760 was available with either an i4 or v6, and was a high-trim 700 series model.

2: Jebus! It's just how many doors it has! Volvo stopped putting this model name on the backs of cars in the early 80's but continued to use it as an internal model designation. The title of my '90 240 wagon said "Volvo 245".

If im not mistaken Manne didn't wan't to compromise on the rideheight and will be running it a bit tucked. Regarding the pictures the car just got finished a couple of days ago but we will have a big expo in Norway next month and the car will be there. I promise to make a proper cover on it then
