I worked on a telecom deal in China in the late 1980s; our hired car was a blue Volvo 240 that was identical in appearance to my mother's blue Volvo 240 in the US - I could not tell any difference other than the missing "Uneaded Gasoline Only" warnings that were on the US version, not on the Chinese model. These cars were locally produced from parts kits sent from Sweden, not an uncommon process for jump-starting production in China; this was also done with VW and Jeep, probably other car manufacturers.
