Any offers .....

1996 N Reg Volvo 850 T5-R 2319cc

4 Doors, Manual, Saloon, Petrol, Racing Green.

MOT - Jan 2006 Tax Expired.

ABS Brakes, PAS, Electric everything (seats, mirrors, windows, roof) Central Locking, Black Half Leather/Half Alcantara, Air Bags. Radio Cassette & CD Multi-changer. Front & Rear Spoilers.

It also has a multi changer CD and a Sun Roof.

Previously there was a fault with the Oil feed and the engine failed. Therefore it has recently had a replacement engine fitted taken from an S70 T5. This had 70k on the clock and so it is just run in as far as 2.3l volvo engines go.

I have all of the reciepts for the work carried out by CP Motors of Polesworth (Volvo Specialists) and am very pleased indeed with the workmanship & service. The previous engine had 150k on the clock and so the speedo still reports this.

This car was purchased by myself over 24 months ago with a set of very very nasty volvo alloy wheels (pics available) as i am led to believe the elderly diasbled gentleman who owned it prefered the wolf in sheeps clothing subtleness of a basic looking volvo. I have since sourced a set of T5 alloys for the car, but the R wheels are as rare as rocking horse ...... and so i have been unable to locate a set to finish the car off. As you can see tho the spare wheel is an R alloy as they origionaly were.

The car now runs excellently and is a dream to drive.

 

I reckon it would make a good track car .........

 

was good enough for the BTCC

 

mmm Hours of fun could be had

I only work 2 minutes from home and it's simply not economical for the miniscule journey and (i recently had a knee opp so i have got to use my bike to sort out my leg and get fit again)

 

Rickard Rydell & Kelvin Burt iirc. racing for TWR.

 

how much you looking 4 mate. rough guide price

 

2500 - 2000 ??

Not too sure, i appreciate it's a T5-R but i only have x4 T5 Rims on it (origional T5-R spare). A bit worried about tracking down a set of rims as i may not get my money back on the sale as they are going for 5-700 with rubber.

 

Anyone for £1800 ??????

 

 

About to get 12 months MOT put back onto, so BUMP...

 

I like that ....... Could see myself driving in that, just a shame I still have the scoob and the pug......

Good luck with the sale

 

Cheers.

How busy are MOT test centers right now !!! booked in later this week. Will let you all know when it's got 12 months again. Chris.

 

So are you not selling it now....

 

Yep it's still for sale, i'll let you know when i has got a fresh MOT on it Chris.

 

If i sell my car next week i would be very interested, do you have any more pics?

 

Well it simply needs x3 tyres for a fresh MOT so i'm torn at the moment deciding upon a cheap set of allloys and tyres 16, 127 or 18's or simply x 4 Yoks for the T5 rims which are currently sitting on the car.

i guess x4 Yoks and it's up for sale at 2k, let me know guys, otherwise i got a few days to try and track down a bargain ain rims & rubber.
