Synopsis
On 4 July 1759, the Count de La Tour, Marquis of Valmorin, dies, leaving a will stipulating that it must not be opened for two hundred years. Moreover, his fortune is to pass only to the descendant who suffers from an incurable disease.

Hoping to claim the inheritance for their own families, the principal creditor, Galopin, and the Marquis’s notary, Maître Leboiteux, devise a plan: at least one descendant must be present at the opening of the will, allowing them to seize the fortune themselves.

On 4 July 1959, in Geneva, Albert Leboiteux and his associate, Meyer, intend to swindle the heirs under the guise of a “charitable cause”. Meanwhile, the Marquis’s descendants arrive from across the world to attend the long-awaited opening of the notorious will: Pierre from Switzerland, Luigi from Italy, Ingrid from Denmark, Mathilde from France, William from the United States, Hannibal from Africa, and Smith from Scotland...

1976, Cars: Volvo 343, the DAF that became a Volvo

On 19 February 1976, the Volvo 343 was introduced. The new model was equipped with a 1.4-litre Renault engine producing 52 kW and featured the DAF Variomatic transmission. From 1979 onwards, the 343 was also available with a manual gearbox sourced from the Volvo 200 Series. In 1980, the five-door version was introduced as the Volvo 345.

The origins of the Volvo 343 date back to 1970, when it was developed as DAF Project P900. It was intended as a replacement for the DAF 66 and was planned to be launched as the DAF 77 in 1975. The design was created by John de Vries. Following Volvo’s complete takeover of DAF in 1975, the new model was released under the Volvo brand rather than as a DAF.

The Volvo 300 Series received facelifts in 1981 and 1985. In 1988, the 300 Series was succeeded by the Volvo 400 Series.
