After a little bit of wisdom

I am on the lookout for another C70 T5 GT but want an ME7 engine

I seem to remember that they were introduced in 1999 but does anybody have a definitive answer to the question above

I thank you

As Frankie says, S reg and on generally. Did you sell the silver one, if so why do you want another one?

Yup, S reg 1998 was the changeover year, mine is a Sept 98 ME7

And mine is a June 98 'R reg' and isn't ME7 so it definitely seems right...

Thanks for confirmation guys

Sold the C70 Steve when I bought Chad`s S60, big mistake

S60 is not as nice to drive as the C70 was despite the Rica map and a six speed box

No, it's not such an involving drive as the C70, even the R in comfort mode feels quite isolated from the road, though it's a lot better in sports mode.

They are usually distinguished by the blue background in the front iron-mark badge (behind the word Volvo)

Suppose you can always ask the seller if it has a throttle cable.
