Wow, I didn't know they existed! There were rumours of some first pre-production white T-5Rs in America. I have heard that Volvo would do one-off colours for Rs by request.

I would imagine,that a white R with anthracite wheels,would look as hard as nails.

indeedy so - apparently a 850R. Rumour has it that some pre-prod T-5Rs were made but never had it confirmed. I guess the 850Rs were made in a multitude of colours - whatever you wanted from the normal 850 selection?
