Default S60 T5 Sport SE 260bhp 2008 MANUAL 98000 miles Stunning Car

Legendary S60 T5 Sport SE Spec..2.4…260 BHP….5 Cylinder Turbo .… 2008...
Rare MANUAL 6 SPEED… Low Mileage for the year...Full and comprehensive Volvo Main Dealer Service History...Superb Condition...One of the Best available. Colour is Metallic Titanium Grey. Same engine as the Focus ST!

If you're looking at this advert, you’ll know what these sport saloons are all about. A Luxury GT Cruiser with a spec that rivals newer modern saloon cars. It has a massive boot with Split Folding Rear Seats. Dual Climate control, Cruise Control, Wonderfully comfortable heated seats and electric memory driver’s seat, Nebula BBS cross spoke alloys with good tyres, Fantastic Stereo system with Dolby NR.

This example has been extremely well looked after throughout its life. A fully documented Volvo History with masses of bills for completed work in a Volvo wallet. Genuinely drives without fault. A lot of car for the money.

Cam Belt and Water Pump changed at Volvo Specialist at 75000 miles in June 17. Last Serviced at Volvo dealership in Swansea at 91005 in January 2019 Current Mileage is 98000. MOTd ‘till February 2020

The previous owner had a bespoke Stainless Steel Exhaust System fitted which sounds lovely and emphasises that 5 Cylinder burble but is quiet and refined on the motorway!
I’m a mature enthusiast and enjoy my cars. I'm not a racer and always drive the car with the respect it deserves. However this is a very quick car when needed!

The car has spent most of it’s life near Dundee in Scotland. I travelled to Inverness to purchase it as nice T5s are very scarce.

I’m near Cardiff in South Wales and encourage viewings. I'm sure you won’t find a more genuine and better cared for example. These are becoming rare now and are likely to climb in value. Reluctantly for sale as I have too many cars and one has to go. It’s been my daily driver since September 2018 and the V5 is in my name.

It has a removable Volvo Tow bar which a previous owner had fitted. I was going to keep the car to tow a small caravan but our circumstances have changed so it’s up for sale. The buyer will not be disappointed.

MASSIVE SERVICE HISTORY READS:
8/4/09 3674 miles; 8/4/10 9501 miles; 19/2/11 14888 miles; 26/10/11 20458 miles; 16/10/12 30407 miles; 24/10/13 40708 miles; 6/10/14 48301 miles; 5/11/15 56380 miles; 21/11/16 70300 miles; 11/1/18 80689 miles; 18/1/19 91005 miles

£2450 or nearest offer. Private plate not included. Registration will be AM08KZO

This is the S60 not S40. I am 99% certain the S60 T5 and Focus ST have the same engine.
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.

no focus and S60 are slightly different due to mounting from the end of the head . and focus is 30 bhp less. and a 2.5 not a 2.4 .

Sorry its the S40/C30/V50 T5 P1 Platforms that share the engine with the Focus ST. But the police used the V50 / S40 T5's as their cars as well, I should know as my replacement ECU is from an Expolice S40 T5
