With thanks to Martin i have picked myself up this beauty and i am extremly happy with it.
You may have all seen the for sale thread previously so i will keep it brief.
1995 Volvo 850 T5 S manual saloon
190k approx as odo doesnt work
Full service history
Standard apart from cone filter and MBC (for now)
half leather interior
1 owner plus martins short stint from new.
I have a few ideas for her and a rear spoiler is on the top of the list so when i can get hold of one.
Thanks Martin like i said im very happy with it and it hasnt skipped a beat.
it was sparkling when i picked her up but by the time i got home (180miles) it was filthy so took it to the hand carwash.
also very impressed with your TDI

Thanked 120 Times in 79 PostsLovely little car this, I was set to buy this but things got held up and I bought an S70R instead. Wish I still got it as a hack though!
Have you got any plans for it?

Thanked 55 Times in 46 PostsI'm in between the UK and Spain at the moment so it will be slow progress. Its crying out for a rear spoiler so hopefully get my hands on an R one alond with front bumper and volans then upgrade the handling components needs a paint touch up here and there and then I'll start looking at more power.

Thanked 120 Times in 79 PostsSounds good. I really love the rear lights on the 850 saloons but with the spoiler they look even better.
