    Interesting cars seen in breakers

    I thought It may be worth starting a thread with interesting cars seen in breakers yards.

    I recently online saw a white 850r in a breakers, which made me think of it.

    We saw a few white 850Rs here, but they're far more commonly red.
    Turquoise and Oliver were common too, though I havent seen a torquoise one for a long time.

    They're certainly getting rarer and often on the used market some people dont realise what they have.
    The 850R, 850T5R and 1997-2000 V70R specific parts are getting rarer and rarer too. It's a little sad seeing some of them in poor condition.

    Here, the 850T5R was only available as a manual sedan with examples most common in yellow, then black and a couple of Olive ones too.
    We didnt get the S70R at all and our 1997-2000 V70R was AWD only.

    Yes it's a bit different here, t5rs mostly green and then roughly equal number of yellow and black.

    850r s mostly red and black, with teal and white being rare.

    Interesting.
    Officially, we only got a single olive 850T5R and it was auto. I am sure I have seen an olive T5R (not an R) in manual too.

    We also got Olive 850Rs which apparently arent common overseas. I find the little nuances really interesting actually.
