UK TV request - 850 BTCC

[N1Sarah]

Good afternoon everyone,

I hope you are all keeping safe and well.

My name is Sarah and I work for North One, a television production company in Birmingham. I am working on a new series for Channel 4 all about iconic vehicles from around the world. I am trying to locate a Volvo 850 Estate BTCC car and wondered if any members knew where I might be able to track one down? Forgive my ignorance, but would private individuals ever have been able to purchase these ?

If anyone knows anyone who now owns one or knows who would be best to contact I'd be really grateful for any information.

Many thanks,
Sarah

Try googling Jason Minshaw, (classic car racing driver) I think he bought and restored 003 a couple of years ago.

The other two are in Sweden, 001 owned by Gregory Peterson and 002 is in a museum in Gothenburg.
