I have a silver S60 R manual with a few tweaks, not that fused about selling the 2 x 850's as they are fantastic cars and don't cost that much to run. Having an estate car is handy for the dog and is a really good drive, pulls really well having the fresh engine installed and has never let me down.

That is a very tempting idea as I could transform that into a nice trackday toy, one of the reasons I want to sell my 850's is to get a dedicated track day car. If you are serious let me know

Hi, I bought the car off Lawrence. For a steal I think !.
These truley R great cars, never to be seen again I feel.
I wrote to Volvo uk asking for as much history on the White R's as they could give, as I had never seen one. They wrote back explaining that 4 were produced as I said earlier.
Steve... Maybe you should reconsider the sale ?? A classic here ?. Spend a few grand on it, it will be worth it !
The White body, White alcantara interior, light birch trim ! Volvo at it's funky best. You will always smile when you get in that car.
I am in the process of putting my car back (!) to factory spec.
Anyone know if I can get the steering wheel & gear lever refurbished ??
Simon KTF !

Not sure what we are going to do, I may even sell my S60 R and get a 960 for a daily and is good for the dog and get something a bit exotic (well for me). Would like to get a V8

I have just put 12 months tax on the car as well as two brand new front tyres, rear tyres are nearly new also.

st5ve · Jul 19th, 2011, 22:37

I may consider a p/x with an XC70 with either or both my 850's that are for sale.
Would prefer petrol, manual, fully loaded and full service history.

This really is soooooo tempting !

The past couple of days has seen a few people interested, location seems to be a negative factor in deciding to view the car so I have decided to lower the asking price to £1800. Hopefuly that will help towards fuel and travel costs.

The car is not in perfect condition but I would consider her to be in very good condition, for example the drivers bolster is a bit worn and a couple of paint inperfections.

I would of thought at £1800 this would generate more interest
