1992 Volvo 940 saloon | Colchester, Essex

A 1992 Volvo 940 saloon, the rear-wheel-drive four-door that carried Volvo's square-cut look through the early 1990s. It is known for a roomy, redesigned boot, disc brakes on all four wheels and a strong safety reputation, with three-point belts and a centre rear head restraint as standard. This car is silver with a grey interior, a calm, understated pairing that reads as an everyday Volvo of its period. Its 2.3-litre petrol engine sits under a bonnet with upright, squared-off lines, the shape that says early 1990s the moment it appears in frame. Film and TV productions can use it to establish an ordinary Volvo of the period, and the neutral silver paint keeps it unfussy in photography. At events it sits quietly beside more ornate or sporting classics. Its formal four-door layout also suits a low-key wedding arrival. The car is based in Colchester, Essex.
