Interesting cars seen in breakers

[Ettienne]

I thought It may be worth starting a thread with interesting cars seen in breakers yards.

I recently online saw a white 850r in a breakers, which made me think of it.

[Jamest5r]

Mrp is your man lots of interesting things in his local breakers lol

White 850 r?? Rare beast

[Jamest5r]

Estate or saloon?, thought there was only 1 855 which used to be cherry's but now is in the loving hands of s70chris who is spending a small fortune to tart it up :)

[Ettienne]

Estate

[oblark]

It proves that "how many left.com" figures are incorrect.

[Ettienne]

How many left use dvla figures, they don't break down into colours though just model

[T5frankie]

may have been a lookalike

[Ettienne]

Definitely a genuine 855r white auto.

They had a gul and black 854r as well

[Ettienne]

This I'd the info how many left provides

[Ettienne]

Figures have balanced out now, where as previously they declined

[martybelfastt5]

they didnt seem to cover northern ire or southern ire pop up every now and then here even a black t5r saloon manual like my own

[abdul]

Definitely a genuine 855r white auto.

Think there WAS 3 estates left. The other two were both auto... That means Chris's just got rarer :)

We saw a few white 850Rs here, but they're far more commonly red.
Turquoise and Oliver were common too, though I havent seen a torquoise one for a long time.

They're certainly getting rarer and often on the used market some people dont realise what they have.
The 850R, 850T5R and 1997-2000 V70R specific parts are getting rarer and rarer too. It's a little sad seeing some of them in poor condition.

Here, the 850T5R was only available as a manual sedan with examples most common in yellow, then black and a couple of Olive ones too.
We didnt get the S70R at all and our 1997-2000 V70R was AWD only.

[Ettienne]

Yes it's a bit different here, t5rs mostly green and then roughly equal number of yellow and black.

850r s mostly red and black, with teal and white being rare.

[AshDVS]

Interesting.
Officially, we only got a single olive 850T5R and it was auto. I am sure I have seen an olive T5R (not an R) in manual too.

We also got Olive 850Rs which apparently arent common overseas. I find the little nuances really interesting actually.

[Biff]

It feels like an age since I've been to the breakers.
A local yard is always featured in practical classics, they have allsorts of cars you have forgot about. Will take a look next time I'm around the area. ;)

I like a walk round a scrapyard, or in this case lying in nettles & mud to get a couple of radiator drain plugs

just dodgy aftermarket wheels in my post. I saw an S60 with those Eudora wheels in Dubai, nice but the design is too complicated for me
