If I can remember correctly the car was sold to someone in Ireland, then appeared not too long after that for sale advertised in the UK. If it's difficult to trace, it could still have an Irish plate? When sold, the car had amongst other things an AP big brake kit, 3" Feritta downpipe and cat back and an MTE remap. Alastair, I can remember when you went out for a passenger ride in the car....

Yeah that's right car was owned by Simon Linton, I am sure it's a 1996 MY saloon, it's a manual has a 140 mph speedo and has unleaded fuel only written on the fuel gauge like the American market cars have. It was registered here in the UK late because it sat around as a show vehicle for Volvo but was sold on after the 850 ceased production. Simon sold it in 2008 and at the time my brother was very interested, was just before he found the S70. He missed out on it because a guy from Ireland got first refusal as he had enquired about the car 1st. The guy from Ireland re. registered it so now on Irish plates but after about 2 months decided to sell it and offered it to my brother for more than he paid and also added to the value of the car the cost of the Irish registration and journey costs, no good to him as he lives in the UK. Not sure what happened to the car after the Irish owner, Mark, sold it but I am guessing it stayed in Ireland...
In addition to what IC mentions I think Simon had IPD bars and possibly FSD's fitted as well...althought I can't be 100 % on that.
If it's been registered in Ireland, Would it not come back over here on plates that are respective to it's age, Rather than back on an S?
