A Dutch 142 GL 2.0 Ruddspeed rally car for sale - Link to "www.marktplaats.nl" . Ruudspeed did lots of different projects - other Volvos, RHD UK Mustang conversions in mid-60s and other US stuff, some late 60s Alfa luxury versions of Giulia Coupe etc.

For a while I had a 1969 Volvo 142 B20 and tried forever to find a grill, but failed. I have an optional extra brouchure at home. That is for cars sold in Sweden, whether or not all equipment were up for sale on the British isles, I haven't a clue.
