850R M59 Estate
Volvo 850R Estate (855), factory manual (M59) with factory LSD.
First registered 30th of December 1996, N717 JBW (one of a range of red, estate 850R’s to wear the N***JBW plate). Currently on just over 180,000 miles. I bought the car in 2009 from a chap in Aberdeen, making me the fourth owner, the years that followed looked like this, mileage and notable item wise. I’ve always used OEM parts direct from Volvo apart from the noted items. All work has been done by Tim Williams, and every year it’s had new fluids and filters, spark plugs every other year. 2009 136,333 miles All belts changed, new clutch, new Koni yellow front shocks, angled-flange 16T turbo, uprated injectors, tune, Volvo strut-brace, lots of little bits including a fog-light unit that had a cracked lens etc etc 2010 145,552 miles New AP racing discs and pads (car has AP bells, rotors, AP four piston big-brake kit) 2011 156,261 miles Engine completely rebuilt, head ported and flowed, valves back-cut, forged H-beam rods fitted, Ferrita 3” downpipe with 100 cel cat, 2.5” cat-back exhaust, R manifold, re-map 2012 166,475 miles 2013 170,079 miles 2014 173,855 miles (in-joke there for the Volvo fans) 2015 175,665 miles New Nivomat rear shocks fitted, 3” core intercooler, Kinugawa 20T turbo, re-mapped, Volans refurbished by Lepsons, new Goodyear Eagle F1’s all round 2016 175,677 miles Note - the small and brittle plastic cog in the odometer that always breaks had broken this year, in reality the car has done a couple of thousand miles more than the recorded mileage. The car also had new rear brake rotors and pads, new headlights (old reflectors were past their best), car went to stay with Jim D for a month to be detailed from top to bottom, inside and out 2017 179,877 miles A lot of work done, including the windscreen being replaced as it had started to delaminate - this service cost £2,500 and included all belts, plugs etc. It's had way, way more work than this - but probably best for the prospective buyer to speak to Tim Williams about the car, those who know Tim also know he's very direct about things so you'll get a great deal of detail very rapidly. I've taken the approach of always fixing everything as soon as possible and I believe this shows in the overall condition of the car. The car hasn’t seen a dyno so I’m going to claim 350 bhp and around 550Nm of torque which I know it’ll over-deliver on if the new owner ever does put it on the rollers. In terms of jobs left to do I’d like to get the rear brake pads replaced as the current ones, although new, have an annoying vibration as you slow to a stop. Other than that everything bar the passenger side heated seat works - that’s right, an 850R with working aircon. Has both the load net and the load cover. Everything is OEM or better, it has the original radio, it’ll surprise the hell out of most other cars on the road who don’t know what it is and therefore what it can do - and it’ll do it with four bikes in the back, or the shopping, or just you and a desire to go out and enjoy it. It comes with the factory fitted removable tow-hook which I’ve used to take bikes on a Thule tow-hook mounted carrier which worked brilliantly. I’ll include the carrier if you want it, it has an electrical pickup and lights, plus number plate. Comes with two keys, both with working remotes, and one "valet" key that opens the doors but not the glovebox. I've got the book-pack, and an original dealer brochure for the 850R. |

Can be used to go camping:
Zero problems stopping: Breathes more easily than standard: Five of these going spare as they're no longer needed in the engine: |

Only time I ever managed to make it to a track with the car, tip-toed around Combe, hugely fast down the straight that's a bit bent mind:
