Out of interest I drove the car to almost Carlisle and back yesterday and it performed this 500 mile trip effortlessly and it's so comfortable. Trip computer showed 35.2 mpg. Drives so well.
The mileage is now 98500 miles!

Car currently parked under my carport and available immediately.

Thanks Jim,
It's still a fabulous car. I bought it from a Polish guy from eBay in Sept 18.
I have too many cars so one has to go and unfortunately it's the T5.
I have a 1972 Stag original V8; 1991 Audi 90 20V; 2002 Octavia vRS WRC 73/100; 2013 Octavia vRS Estate (wife's) and my daily a 2013 Fabia Monte Carlo (bought recently from a friend.

It's priced to sell at £2450 and yes it's a rare car now.

I've also been told that the Police used the S60 T5 as a rapid response car as they were so quick - but not this particular example. Private owners only.
The S60R and only briefly. The brakes weren't up to the job of high speed pursuit and response work and the pads would catch fire. It was easier to replace them with the Octavia VRs than modify the Volvo's brakes.

The T5 and the R are great cars, I love 'em.
