Anyone for T5-R ??
Any offers .....
1996 N Reg Volvo 850 T5-R 2319cc
4 Doors, Manual, Saloon, Petrol, Racing Green.
MOT - Jan 2006 Tax Expired.
ABS Brakes, PAS, Electric everything (seats, mirrors, windows, roof) Central Locking, Black Half Leather/Half Alcantara, Air Bags. Radio Cassette & CD Multi-changer. Front & Rear Spoilers.
It also has a multi changer CD and a Sun Roof.
Previously there was a fault with the Oil feed and the engine failed. Therefore it has recently had a replacement engine fitted taken from an S70 T5. This had 70k on the clock and so it is just run in as far as 2.3l volvo engines go.
I have all of the reciepts for the work carried out by CP Motors of Polesworth (Volvo Specialists) and am very pleased indeed with the workmanship & service. The previous engine had 150k on the clock and so the speedo still reports this.
This car was purchased by myself over 24 months ago with a set of very very nasty volvo alloy wheels (pics available) as i am led to believe the elderly diasbled gentleman who owned it prefered the wolf in sheeps clothing subtleness of a basic looking volvo. I have since sourced a set of T5 alloys for the car, but the R wheels are as rare as rocking horse ...... and so i have been unable to locate a set to finish the car off. As you can see tho the spare wheel is an R alloy as they origionaly were.
The car now runs excellently and is a dream to drive.
