What instrumentation does it have? I think they are SWs, but the bezels look a little bulky and I can't quite make out the detail when I zoom up.
Colour is good too....is it Viking Blue?

Glen,
Yes, they are the vintage Stewart-Warners as used in the second production batch of 289s.
The color is not Viking Blue, it was intended to be Princess Blue but a glitch in changing from the PPG code to the Glasurit used at the factory resulted in an "offset" color from Volvo that is more of a "slate" color but still quite nice and very period. As the car was required to ship to Switzerland for showing there was not time to re-do the paint. I think we will get some orders for this color one it has been seen on the car!
Jim, I will forward full file of photos for the website shortly.....
Some pictures of the chassis delvelopment follow.
