1995 Gul Yellow Volvo 850 T5-R Estate
A sudden change in circumstances unfortunately means that my Gul Yellow 850 T5-R estate is now up for sale. The car drives very well and is an extremely comfortable ride. The gearbox is extremely smooth and has benefitted from regular oil changes. As usual (queue the abuse...), I have done the necessary to get the car to a very good specification. Details:

Looks Very nice, What was wrong with the paint on the front bumper? And why have a spare Rear Bumper which has also been painted?
GLWTS by the way.

I got a set of V70R front and rear seats for a very good price and in much better condition. Also, the leather and cloth sections are reversed and makes more sense than original T5-R seats. |

Interior shots
Some interior shots, sorry none of the back seats because they are folded with some stuff in the boot. But they are in better condition than the fronts just to give you an idea.

I know this is pushing it a bit (lol) but don't suppose you'd wanna swap for a 2001 C70 2.4T by any chance? I need an estate, and whilst the C70's boot is Big, it's not as practical as an estate lol.

No thanks, I'm selling because I've been re-united with a car that I, mistakenly I must add, sold 2.5 years ago (see T5D5 for more details ) I can't justify keeping both.
