Both my V70 models (1997 old shape, 2000 new shape) have said 'Assembled in
Belgium' on the VIN tag, and all large parts say 'Made in Sweden' on them. I
assume that Gothenburg make the parts, and the people in Belgium assemble
them into a car, by adding numerous German-made components no doubt!
Electrical systems for example (Bosch).
I think most of the European models are made in Belgium now.
What model/age was your car John??
