I'll fire up the Box Brownie later for the pictures...Just as an aside the guy where I bought the bike used to own a Garage in the middle of nowhere all exactly how it was back in the 50's they sell classic cars now, he wanted the 850R... badly... even made me an offer and a delivery of the bike. So something is happening to the 850R on the general desire front?
Maybe he had a buyer lined up, the number of 850's is dwindling fast...

Here's the exact link for those models: https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/?utf8=...3&q=volvo+850r
If you got 30.3, you weren't driving fast enough. :P
Dont panic when it drops to 88 as my 850R manual is about to go into hibernation for the winter. Its out of MOT and needs two new front shocks and a track rod end to pass anyway. ZZZZzzzzzz..................Quote:
