I refer here to the 1993 Volvo 240 DL Classic wagon that our family still drives. And the car company proved its socially conscious bona fides by given away the design to other car companies for free. Any child of the Sixties might reflect: did the family car even have a two-point lap belt? The Volvo brand too had a distinctive style reputation, not least the boxy but arguably beautiful 200 series. Not for nothing is she referred to far and wide as “The Lead Sled.” And yet, she’s agile.
