I didn't realise they were so scarce.
Very rare on the road now been a long time since iv even seen a t5 in the flesh
Not really surprised, very expensive car to own. Volvo parts were shockingly expensive for the thing, over a grand to get the timing belt done, 22mpg long term, 27 on a run.
Loved it though, sorry I ever sold it, everyone wondered why a 21 year old was driving that old mans car :D
This is a pic of the first one, its the only pic I have of the car and I don't have any photos left of the R. It was a 1996 850 T5 CD manual, I bought it when I was 19 for £1300 on ebay, picked it up in liverpool from a dodgy middle eastern gent with 120k on the clock, bought the volans and put up 30k hassle free miles. It was a silly spec thing too, electric heated memory seats, full trip computer, cruise control and an epic sound system. I was the only one who loved that thing :D

Think my dad had a silver '88 one of these? Christy Moores brothers car was its claim to fame!!
Don't think so, the 850 came out in 1991.

Because they were all hot wired and driven to death in the mid 90s around the inner city. The amount of them I seen burnt out then was a crying shame :crying: serious sleeper car of its time.
