I actually remember this Red 'R' mentioned being for sale years ago...
Linky...
I'm still not convinced they ever made Rs in bright Red though!

That's the car, it's had a few owners, 2 since that ad so now on 9. As I said the lad has been told it's one of 5 but I've not seen any other pictures of a red R bar my twin who lives in California & another in Japan.
Mines lower than both though. Lol
He tried making a big deal about it but to me it's only a badge.
I think you know where I'm coming from there being a non R owner Dave. Lol

Exactly Biff, R is only a posh T5 anyway
Mind, I am a bit sick of people asking if my car is an R or T5, even had an R owner ask me once if it was an R lol

Its the condition that counts not the badge mate and this car looks really nice.

Your right mate, my old R wasn't a patch on this. It's not mint but for 178k & nearly 17 years old she's looking alright to be fair.
It attracts the older generation asking me what year it is & what engine it is then I can pop on our local boy racer car park in town & get massive respect off the kids.
I'm just enjoying her at the mo & keeping her maintained but I have plans for the future.

Biff, that is one beautiful car, and I was well impressed on Sunday.

So had a pretty busy week on the car ready for our roadtrip this weekend. Will she have a polish & wax before the Swedish show on Sunday? I don't know but she needs it!
Tuesday I popped to see Del as he wanted the roof trims off my v70 for his 855 touring car rep. I've managed to get a set of "chunky" me7 roof bars. Originally I was going to chop up my trim to fit the rails but it seemed a waste as it's rare to see an estate without them.
For now I've got some old style rails & 855 trim but I'm aiming to source the me7 trim at some point. I managed to get some genuine roof bars off a fellow enthusiast & the roof box off hound. Think the family has enough storage space now....
Anyway, I've given her a fresh oil change & checked my plugs, a nice light biscuit colour so no signs of lean or rich burn.
I think me giving it a run to work & back a couple of times a week is doing her good, no more Mayo in my dipstick & all good with the glove test.
I may have a set of coilovers forsale soon as they are killing my favourite roads.
