Mint volvo 850R

[oblark]

I managed to sell my old volans this week, So I met the buyer at Basingstoke railway station this afternoon.

He had a mint olive green 850R with 63k on the clock and he was only the second owner from new.

the two best cars to have EVER been at basingstoke railway station at the same time! i love olive green - my first 850 t5 estate in that colour was brill followed by a 2nd 850 t5 in white ( ex-cop) and last week just bought myself a v70 t5 estate in olive green again - love it !!

You are commenting on what you see in a photo, I was stood next to the car and it is MINT.

The marks on the front bumper are mud splashes.

Thats y I didn`t comment it as wasn`t sure,my comment was in general,I`m sure u`ve wasted time and money seeing cars by b.s. description.

Thats a very good description lol well she had about 2 little marks and an inch touch up so not mint.

I'm sure the car was as you say, I was was just commenting on Kingford's reply. The 8504 will always be one of my favorite cars, as not only was an olive green one as pictured my first quick volvo, it was my first Volvo and beginning of my love affair with the brand.
However, it does look a lovely car.

For that kind of money - I'd expect the seller to have sorted out the crack in the front splitter and repainted the rear spoiler.

Does look mint though....
