The tweed looks to be like the stuff Volvo used on the US model DL's in 1982-83 (and Canadian DL's in 1982-84). Looser grain of tweed than the stuff used on 1989-93 240's. It's just that the US models had the all-vinyl door panels, instead of the half-tweed panels shown above.
Anyway:
First '84 245GL - bought new, was blue/black originally with an Aw70. At time of photo, there were some parts of an '85 245DL interior installed, and a '79 M46.
Red '83 245Ti before I sold it - seats were from my family's old gray '84 245GL that I converted to a black interior. Car, like the '84 245 shown above, was originally autotragic.
Beige '81 242DL. My first car. Originally had brown cloth. In the summer of '97, I found a gray/tan Diesel that had fairly decent tan leather seats in it. Swapped them to my car, using my original seats' back frames with the latch mechanisms.
My previous '85 245T, as I was swapping interior pieces prior to selling the car. Yes, the barney purple switch went with it. Was used for the driving lights. Gauge cluster was replaced with an upper dash pocket out of an '86 244DL, with the oil pressure and turbo gauges mounted next to the vents and the pocket.
