HI all........
Just gauging interest here.. I might be selling my 855r or would be up for a swap for another car why? I will be putting a fresh mot on her this week..
Like i say just gauging interest at the mo.....
My Volvo has covered 134000 miles but is still in every day use.
I will start with the wheels and tyres.. The wheels on her are the originals and are highly sought after( they are signs of kerb rash on them) the 2 front tyres are about a month old so have near enough 7mm of tread on them and the rears have about 5mm so plenty of life left in them.
The body work is in mint condition apart from the drivers side wing where the previous owner had it resprayed and there was a reaction with the paint leaving it with a crocodile skin effect in the finish. The front splitter has a small crack in it where it was caught on a kerb. When you polish the car the paint work still gleams as if it had just come out of the showroom.
The interior is in very good condition. It has the half leather and alacantra to all seats and has never been smoked in it is the mdel with the dark walnut interior and not the sicky light wood they did. The rear seat has a built in child's seat where the arm rest would be and can be easily pulled out or put away, a very handy feature if you have kids. The boot is massive, comes with a full sized alloy wheel ( to match the others) also it has a built in net that can be used for a dog guard etc.... There is an after market stereo been fitted but still has the original 8 speaker Volvo speakers which kick out a very nice sound.
The engine has recently (Oct last year) had a full head rebuild and intercooler( receipts to prove) from a Volvo specialist. THis cost 1300 and no expense was spared. The engine pulls like a train, at the moment it was last dyno ed at 235 bhp. It has had all the vaccum pipes changed as these were prone to air leaks from the turbo. It has a cone filter fitted but also has the original air box with a k @ n panel filter. It also benefits from having a manual boost controller fitted which you can adjust to control the turbo boost on the car. I personally dont 'rag' this car, but the speed is there if you wont it. The transmission is automatic which has 3 settings economic, sports and winter. All three work as do all the other electrics in the car.
The car will come with 12 months mot on it which im in the process of getting done.
Please Google the spec of these cars as my right up probably doesn't do it justice.
