Was it an ST257 Paul - they sold quite a few of those in the UK

I really like those old timer Volvos , my model here is a 950 S with cab, most of them was without cab :) it was there last puré Volvo combine, after that the start to cooperate with Claas.

I have never seen one with a cab except in a photo - do remember a farm which had a couple of them along with one that had been stripped for spares plus a non running S1000.  They ran them until the 1990s and one of the S950s was on the farm til 2009 but I don’t think it had seen much use since a Fortschritt arrived around 1994.  I haven’t ever seen the 257 but had a little book about the Volvo combines written by a chap who worked as an engineer for a dealer that sold them and there were a few 257s featured in that.
