Volvo Owners Club Forum - 850 R Auto Saloon White

Volvo 850 R Auto Saloon

This is a fairly unique car as it is believed to be the only white 850 R saloon in the UK

I acquired this fantastic car from another VOC forum member (Georgey Dee) on 12/04/2008. George really looked after this car and spent lots of money keeping it in excellent condition. I have meticulously maintained this car and lavishly spent thousands keeping it in maintained to a very high standard. I have all previous MOT’s and document folder with all work that has been carried out to this car from day one.

If you are looking for a high specified 850 R you will not be disappointed with this very capable low mileage car.
