The Volvo Owners Club

The Volvo Owners Club has been around since 1962 so we know about the Volvo brand, its heritage and why they earned the reputation for safety and longevity.

Our name, experience and reputation and the Volvo brand are the reasons we have over 4000 members. Although Volvo cars earned the reputation of longevity, it is possibly the experience, dedication and expert advice from the Club and members that has helped preserve the old models that are still often used daily, and now apply for the more recent and newer models.

Times are changing and the technology in cars is very sophisticated. Air conditioning, electronics and turbos are now common in many of the newer models, and their numbers in the Club are growing. The newer and younger members now have these cars that are less than 10 years old and affordable. We even have the more recent models such as the sporty Volvo C30 range.

Regardless of your choice of Volvo model, we're sure you'll find something for your needs within our Club services today.

What's Inside

This site has over 5000 indexed pages, quite a lot of information. Each page has a Menu button near the top left. Hovering over that will drop down a list of other pages you can navigate to. Not all the menu buttons will drop down the same list, as some are specific to the page they are on and the contect of that section. But all menus lead back to the site homepage and a site map and search. The site map is like the index page you find at the back of a book

The Volvo History section covers all the Volvo cars from 1927 and includes some technical information about them.

The Volvo Press section is a selection of press releases from Volvo. These will include new model technical and general specifications and photographs. From the year 2001 there are complete details of all new models. Earlier Volvo models are covered by other documentation.

Each Volvo model has its own page and those pages have links to relevant pages here on this site and other sites. Cross referencing is done as best as possible. The main index page is Car Information. There is also a page that covers Parts for new and older Volvo cars.

Members of the Volvo Owners Club have certain pages they alone can access and require a password. This is sent on joining and changed with each publication of the club magazine.

The aim of the Federation is to preserve the right to use old vehicles on the roads without any undue restriction and to support its member organisations in whatever way it can.

By your membership of the Volvo Owners Club, you are helping to ensure that you can continue to use your classic car on the roads of the UK and Europe with as little modification and legal restriction as possible.

We run two types of high mileage listings:

• Official Volvo Register
• Unofficial High Mileage Listing

Official Volvo Register
This is an official register run jointly by Volvo Car UK and The Volvo Owners Club. You do not have to be a member of the Volvo Owners Club to get your Volvo car listed. When you register you get a free sticker and the option to purchase a badge for the car.

Unofficial High Mileage Listing
This is a high mileage listing we started here on this web site some years ago as a place for owners of Volvo cars that had completed over 150,000 miles to list their car(s). You do not need to be a member of the Volvo Owners Club to list you car.
