T5R figures in the UK

JCT5R · Dec 29th, 2005, 11:16

Ive been reading through various pages on this forum to get some info and advice on the 850 T5R estate as i have recently purchased one in olive green.
As this was a limited edition production, and these cars are now getting on for being approx ten years old,does anyone have any idea how many are left in the UK at this time ??

Don't know but the amount I have been seen on ebay been broken its frightning, can't be many left!
Or is it the same car doing the rounds I know salvo were breaking one!
The Gas conversion yellow T5R must have been relisted at least 4 times for sale.

I think the production in the UK was 200 of each of the three colours.

Thanks for the replies.
I have read up on the figures for each colour in this country,i read on a forum somewhere (god knows which one it was!) that there were only 23 original olive green 850 T5R estates actually left in the UK at the moment,no mention of figures on the black or yellow vehicles.
Ive seen the yellow T5R estate on ebay too,lpg conversion as well.still not sold as far as i know.280,000 miles!!!!

2000 Total worldwide of which 200 were for the UK market.

The 200 is the total of all the colours . . .

Hi I am always amazed at the number of T5R,s for sale on Ebay as you say Salvo are breaking one and some one else.I have seen very few black T5R,s perhaps the club could make a list if members sent in car registration numbers with brief discripition of car and location

I have an idea, will work on it for a few days. Meanwhile, does anyone have or have access to the total numbers of Ltd Ed original 850 T5R's and all the 850 T5R/R's that followed. My data sheets from Volvo only show totals of 850's over the production years.

Alan, I have never seen a black T5-R! The numbers of T5-Rs in the UK are dwindling - I know of another manual T5-R GUL estate that has been written off and I have seen a number of 854s on E-Bay being sold off for parts.

Hi Alan
Ive seen more T5Rs on ebay than anywhere else lately as well !
Apparently there were only 200 T5Rs in the UK originally.
Sounds like a good idea to try and get a rough figure for how many are left at the present time but apart from trying to source some info from the DVLA (T5Rs currently registered/owned in the UK) it will only be an approximate figure.

Nice number plate Alan !!
