Does anyone know what is the most desirable colour for the 850 R and what is the most rare?

Both wrong

The 850R never came in Yellow, that was the T5R.

The saffron was only available on the V70R/S70R and the C70. No 850.

PNut, the T5-R was a liimited edition 850. There's specific associations of colours with particular cars. For example the Gul (Swedish for yellow) T-5R and the saffron S/V70R. The new generation V70R and S60R was first produced in a number of specific colours (as all Rs are) - the best known is flash green. Funnily enough the saffron colour is very closely matched by another similar colour which can be seen on some Classic 70 series. There's no problem if people don't know about particular marques and colours - just ask, as that's what our forum's here for :-)

Of course, but the 850R and 850 T5-R (or T-5R) are two different models!

The 850R was available in most colours (in fact, the rarest colour is white which there are only a few genuine models in this colour ever made) whilst the T-5R was available only in dark green, yellow (gul) and black.
