Volvo 850 T5 CD Estate, 225+ BHP, 1997, P. Reg, Auto, Low Mileage (159 629 miles).
Last of the 850’s, registered 19/3/97. Service History (20 Volvo dealer/specialist service stamps).
5 Factory T5 Columba Alloy wheels (refurbished approx. 3 years ago) but still in excellent condition.
4 matching P7 Pirelli 205 x 50 x 16 tyres (the correct size/fit) with plenty of tread/life in them.
Metallic grey, Leather interior, Electric memory power heated driver’s seat, Electric Windows x 4, Roof Rails,

Electric Mirrors, Climate Control, Air-Con, Cruise Control, Factory Stereo with Alpine CD in boot. Roof Spoiler.

 

Full Logbook in my name and address. 2 sets of Keys/Fobs. Recent/fresh MOT (May 2020).
Higher octane fuel always used. 3 previous owners, the last owner/enthusiast for 15 years.
Ive owned this 850 for approx. 18 months, an travelled just 5000 miles in that time.
Cambelt changed at 139 238 miles. A new Driveshaft/2 gaiters fitted last year.
Classic Insurance, so a fully comp policy costs less than £200 per year.
No Pets, a non-smokers car, no tow bar.

These 850 T5’s are thin on the ground, look around, there are not many available. This is the CD spec,
it’s the next model down from the very desirable 850 T5 R, so it can only really increase in value.

Note - Previous owner had this chipped? But I have no written proof/Dyno read-outs/prints to prove this?
However…I have owned another 850 T5, also an early C70 T5 GT (240 BHP) but both of those cars did not drive/feel
as “aggressive” as this 850 T5!...So, a “Sleeper” with the potential to embarrass well known sports cars/hot hatches!

This is not a show car, it does have blemishes/marks, an after all…it is over 22 years old.
Study the photo’s, the car is bone dry in the pics, no professional valeting or detailing/polishing here, just a clean/dry car.
Insured and taxed, so test drives are welcome. Reluctant sale, no Test Pilots or Joy Riders required.
Priced to sell at just £1495. Texts are time consuming, so a phone call/chat is the better option. 07936 027216.

I'm in Kent, approx. 20 miles from the Dartford Tunnel, near Maidstone.

 

Points to consider – Drivers side front wing shows signs of a small rust patch (a very common fault with the 850). Slight distortion in side of Bumper (below rust patch on drivers wing). Both front leather seats are worn/cracked, but no rips/holes (driver’s seat being the worst). Previous owner sourced a matching coloured Tailgate (Tailgate is from a V70) It’s a perfect fit, but the high level brake light(top of glass) is the giveaway, that it’s from a V70. 2 small indents in both drivers/passengers lower doors (just below door trim). Rust scab on rear of roof (size of a 10 pence piece). Drivers door card edge has small tears (I think previous owner used to catch the seat belt?). Battery is sluggish, when starting car. Scuff on corner of rear bumper (passenger side). Load cover no longer retracts (another common 850/V70 fault!)

That looks great. There's only ever gonna be less of them too. This are bound to be one of the cars we all wish we'd bought in ten years time.

Everyone should own/drive/try at least one T5 in there life time...puts a smile on the face, when hitting the gas pedal.

Along with the 960, i can just hop in the "cockpit" and get comfortable in an instant...not all the cars ive owned can do this.

As Ace Ventura said.........................................................."Like a Glove".

 

That looks a lovely example, shame I don't need it. GLWTS!

 

Thanks for that.

I have an update/sweetener to offer with this deal.

 

Adding a genuine Volvo front strut brace, in with this deal.

Getting harder to find/come by, these Volvo 850/V70/S70/C70 strut braces.

I didnt get much change out of £100, for this, when i bought it a couple of weeks ago.

I took the pic  the other night, an you can see that ive just placed the brace in position, its not connected at this point in time.
