LOL
In fairness, this was the colour used by the special edition Scorpios issued to the German emergency services and was a 'mandated' colour - a bit like all Navy ships being painted 'battleship grey'.
Why this one was actually ordered in that colour if it wasn't previously a 'services' vehicle is beyond me however.

OK, all is now revealed!
Es ein Ex-BGS Behördenfahrzeug
Which translated means that this vehicle came from the German Border Guard Service so as I suggested earlier it was ordered for use by the Army and is in a mandated colour.
Anyone who bought it would have to budget for a respray or perhaps they could get away with buying a secondhand uniform from the local army surplus

I hate Volvos too actually - before I had my Scrop I had an personalityless S40. The gearbox went at 80k and that browned me off in a big way. Pity, the boxy swedes are now part of the Ford group!
