    850 CD 75K 2 owners

    Hoping to get it out this summer after 1.5 years!
    Good base for the project with only 2 owners (volvo + 1) and only 75000 miles and full history.
    Bought with engine half stripped and now all running with new head gasket etc- and not forgetting the Rica 304 and BSR!

    Nice project, why was the head off the car when you bought it? I'm sure I've heard about this somewhere else? VOC perhaps? Will keep an eye out for your updates

    hi, this car was on autotrader for some time as the owner thought the head gasket had failed, a few people on this site looked at the car but i think the half stripped head put them off making any offers! Its not an 850R (Shame) I guess low mileage examples are getting harder to find?
