    Ditto again !



    Got the 1995 855 T5 for daily stints, but have the V70 R AWD for fun now.

    Both are loved. I dont need a 10 Plate, just....

    IMAO people have 850,s not because there cheaper to buy than s70 or v70,s as we all know they cost about the same to keep on the road these days. I spent well over a grand getting my 850 through its last MOT. I have a 850 T5 and not a V70 because they are becoming a classic. People say too me WOW thats a nice VOVLO 850 if I had a V70 T5 I dont think I would have the same sort of interest from passers buy when I am at the petrol station or supermarket carpark. IMOA The 850 just seems to be more of a challenge. Nothing gives me more pleasure than blowing a new car off in my M reg esate lol...........
    I do like your saffy V70R matey...
