    Is the yellow 850 T-5R the ultimate....... *pic heavy*

    .........R model car Volvo have made so far?

    After spending the weekend with one I'm of the opinion it's quite a strong contender!

    It is a fantastic colour, especially for a Volvo. I remember there was one round the corner from me when they first came out, couldn't pass it without stopping to admire it lol. The reg on it was just "777" client forget that in a hurry

    noticed in the pic's that there's no motorsport logo infront of the t5r badge, was this a later addition and what was the difference, stunning car, lovely colour, just wish mine was mint, not worried that it's olive thought

    It's infront of the 850 badge. I have loved the gull t5r since I was a kid but when I was looking for one I could only afford an olive green lol

    Very nice example and very nice pics too but for me the P2 V70R in black gets my vote for best R.

    Normally, I'd get lynched for a comment like that

    Perhaps they've stopped taking me seriously because of the starlet...
