Every old Volvo I've had required the choke IF it was tuned properly. If the carbs were set way too rich, then it wouldn't be necessary...

On weber equipped cars, its not so necessary if reasonably warm... just have to mash the throttle a couple times and the accelerator pump dumps in some extra gas, but not so with SUs.

I wouldn't worry about it... sounds fine to me.
