It's been suggested that Volvo might look at producing it as an accessory, so if you want one I'd recommend you mention it to your dealer - as I will be - in the hope it gets fed back to Volvo.

Having said that, I'd be surprised if some enterprising Chinese ebay seller doesn't knock a few up at some point...
If anyone has one and lets me have a look, my day job is as a promotional merchandise distributor, so I work with importers who have soft PVC factories in the Far East. Just need to work out the measurements and how it's fixed - the minimum order is only 100 or so...

For those who are interested, thx to Ben from the Dutch Volvo forum:

The flag that could only be seen on the INTRO series of the XC40 will soon be available for purchase in the webshop.

I notice there is also a cotton Swedish flag tag on the side stitching of our leather/nubuck front seats. I assume others have these with similar seats.

I have a FE momentum, as part of the FE equipment it have leather seats, it also have the flag on the right seat.

I have Swedish cloths, they also often have the flag, look at fjallraven. The Norwigans also sometimes put a flag on there cloths.

In Denmark where I live we don’t do it, hence it is not a complete Scandinavian thing, but close :D

That’s a new combination Morten. What does an FE Momentum have in addition to the base car?

I noticed on the demo car that I had for a couple of days, the flag was a sticker that was in the service book holder in the glove box to be stuck on by the showroom/owner. Those that want it, but haven't had it, might want to check to see if there's one hiding in there.

I do think it's a nice touch, and for the cost of manufacturing them, I'm a bit surprised they're not just included as with the demo car for people to attach if they want.

In Denmark there where two versions of the first edition, an R design and a momentum. Both cars had a lot of extras, and to a reduced cost, if I where to configure my model will it cost me around 30.000gbp more than I paid. It basically have the insription equipment, except the visual details. As I told in a different thread are cars crazy expensive here.

I also believe that a momentum in uk is not the same as in Denmark

On Facebook Volvo Denmark stated that the 300 first edition models where sold really fast, I am just glad that I got one...

Also, here we called them First Mover :)
