Default Does anyone know/remember this car?

The S70 T5 that I'm buying has a new style VOC members badge in the windscreen, it has obviously been cherished and had a lot of money spent on it, so I'm wondering if anyone remembers the car? The owner's real name initials are AE and he is suffering from dementia apparently?

The registration is P5 OAE -





As you can see it has an 'R' body kit and wheels on it, a BSR air filter kit and a BSR back box... someone must remember it? I'm wondering what was done to it etc, as the garage has told me that it 'may' have a BSR stage 1 chip as well... If anyone remembers his forum username I can start searching for his posts

Thanks!

I saw this car on ebay a few months ago.

I think it was an ex volvo mechanic.

Luckily I still had it in my watch list.....

They are one of the 'go to' independents in the Birmingham area - they have a good reputation locally.
