Volvo 240 estate "Blod Transport" (SE) by Editions Atlas

The number eighty-eight in the Volvo Collection by Editions Atlas is the Volvo 240 estate in the livery of the Swedish association transporting blood products. The blood transports were performed in Sweden by the security company Securitas and not by the ordinary Health Service or Red Cross as it is so common in many countries. The picture on the folder which comes with this scale model shows Lempa (the driver) next to his Volvo. Lempa has his own blog dedicated to everything on wheels where you can find a photo of the very same car next to one of his motorbikes.
The model is quite true to the original. We can assume that the sirens under the front bumper are missing. But who of you would have checked that detail? The model has however the correct roof rack with the correct blue lights. Mr Atlas has even thought of adding the correct tinted/transparent spoiler over the rear hatch. Good job.
