    Talking

    Why is it that these are always the model you would least want to buy in the range? - now that is a car that needs an auto box. But if you are into pristine it's pretty good. But for myself, I couldn't live without leather and suede and alloys and sunroof and roof-rails and a great colour and a thumping, pumping 2.3 turbo engine - with a viagra chip!

    Oooer!

    850R manual, Rica 310, IKEA fitted bathroom, H&C running water, Jetex 2.5", pipe rack, cap stand, Forge BOV, circular wheels with full 360 degree rotation, 302mm discs, IPD front and rear anti-roll bars, numerous shiny features, sub-atomic particle accelerator, VTOL capability ...Volvo With Attitude!!!
    Also to be seen in a gold Honda CR-V these days...

    I LOVE 850's as you know Alan, but if there was a vehicle that could cause me to turn, it would be this one:
    http://www.pistonheads.com/sales/1242589.htm
    I'm a sucker for Saffron on a V70R.
    I reckon he isn't wrong when he says that other owners will know how hard it will be for him to sell this vehicle (well at that price anway - ha ha).
    But the sort of thing I would buy, and very soon forget that I had paid a bit over the odds. It does look very nice.

    If I was an old romantic like Russ who buys his wife Pegs for her birthday, I would get this for Mrs Flatout.

    Saw that one mate.......yep,with you..only unlike most on here I hate the colour and the lack of lateral movement at the gearlever and missing pedal are a concern..

    So true that it always seems to be the poverty ones. Just thought I'd post it up as it was worth a look for rarity value. Come to think of it.......did anyone actually buy the 'S'?? Apart from this one obviously...

    All the UK spec cars had h/w/w and heated ft seats Duane or winter pack as it was latterly known,even the lowly 340 DL. Wasn't till the S70 arrived that this was extra..
