[daza-b]

Well, finally after a long wait and the near miss of moving away from Volvo all together I got an offer I could not refuse!!

1995 Volvo 850R Auto in Teal!

111k, 2 owners from new, service history up to 90k, 3 keys!!!!!! 2 fobs, mint mint interior, sunroof the works!! Its been stood for a long while and has what is believed to be a ££££ed auto box but its an 850r at the end of the day lol

Good points as above, bad points:

Cracked Windscreen, Dead auto box, dead battery, dinted wing and bumper loose at dint end, needs a dam good service but its a start, No pics yet as got it in the dark, hoping that its ok in the day lol

Have a spare auto box which is good but may manual convert it? Just have to see how things go with it
