What's apparent is that it's a U.S. version because of the head lights but also because of the chrome on the wheel arch. That was standard fittings on the various 760 models (GLE, Turbo and GLE Turbo Diesel) but also on the 740 (GLE and GLE Turbo Diesel) Link to "www.volvotips.com" . Black door mirrors argues that this is a 1985-86 MY, if 740 and 1984-86 if 760. The only thing that I know of that is a difference between the two is the wheels, where the above one has wheels more common on the 740 than on the 760. Hence I belive this is (most likely) a 1985-86 Volvo 740 GLE, Made for the U.S.
