Possibly still for sale? How would this not have been snapped up :

“Vendor Condition Ratings:

Bodywork: 'Poor’
Engine: 'Poor'
Electrical Equipment: ‘Average’ (digital dash was operating recently)
Paintwork: ‘Poor'
Gearbox: 'Good'
Interior Trim: 'Very Good'”

Nah. They were rusting in the showrooms. Something with more metal, please.

Slartibartfast had one of those.  Engine designed by Yamaha if memory serves.

I think (could be wrong) that the engine was designed by Volvo but built by Yamaha. Allegedly when looking at the drawings, Yamaha spotted various faults that would become common and alerted Volvo, but Volvo just replied, "just build it! That's your job." And then they had problems with balance shaft failures. Allegedly. Not more than a rumour, as far as I'm aware

If petrol ever goes down to 40p a litre I’m so getting one of these fast S80 Volvos.  Fuck that T5 nonsense, this is the 4WD V8, 4.4 litre 👍

*** VERY RARE - Please note this is currently the ONLY V8 S80 for sale in the UK***

There are TWO of these for sale less than 10 miles away from me,both silver and both about £7000 each.

It is indeed, possibly reason alone to own one. Yamaha builds fantastic engines.

Been salivating at XC90's with that lump in them, but the ones on eBay seem to be ALL TEH MUNNYZ

0-60 in under 7 seconds, 130 top end (I'm surprised it's not more) but low 20's mpg. 

Lpg looks to be a good idea.

They're known for nomming gearboxes though, never seen a manuel.

As I’m a genius , I’m currently looking for both a dayvan/camper and a convertible just as the weather changes and every other fecker is, even though I’ve known since last autumn that we’d be wanting both , doh!
 

Anyway, I like this

Wouldn’t want to actually try and sleep in that little roof box, though.

I'm 99.9% sure all the V8 Volvos are automatic

Lovely diesel Saxo. Electric windows, fogs. Looks a decent car. Would buy it if it wasn't a Lucas pump as I'm looking for a vegmobile.

Posting here not only because it looks like a good car but also because I've bothered the guy so much to get the right picture of the pump, only to have to let him down. This is my way of paying him back!

As if that is helpful to anyone at all🙄

 

I always see "as it was" photos to be a wasted photo slot, but then, I do suffer from being totally reasonable and illogical at the same time
