1999 Volvo V70R PH-3 AWD Lazor Blue 75,756 miles from new SOLD

Lazor blue is a striking colour and looks stunning in the flesh, very similar to BMW Estoril blue, having previously sourced two fantastic black V70R’s we decided it was time to try and find a late model V70R in the highly desirable Lazor Blue metallic, after months of searching our patience paid off and we’re now proud to offer this beautiful 1999 Phase 3 V70R for sale.

Launched in May 1997 to replace the outgoing 850R the V70R is considered by many to be one of the best fast estates of the 90’s. This phase 3 model Volvo V70R AWD is a superb all round performance car capable of handling the weekly shop with ease and then reaching over 150mph where conditions allow. This example finished in beautiful Laser Blue metallic is clearly an example in unique condition throughout. It has been owned & used since new only on Japan's salt-free & pristinely maintained roads. Paintwork is visibly stunning on this example. Highly reflective with a deep glossy shine, its evident this V70R has always been kept under a car port or garaged by its previous mature owner and was cared for throughout it’s time in Japan. The laser blue paint is the most sought after colour of all on these and suits this car very well looking rather purposeful for a modern classic Volvo.
Note that it's completely rust free throughout inclusive of the underside. Underneath its like new (See pictures of the underside condition & original (yes, after 17 years!) - standard exhausts). Original alloys also still have ZERO corrosion on them (Currently fitted with Bridgestone sports tyres of 215/ 45R17 size) Powered by Volvo’s superb 2. 4L VVT five pot B5244T2 engine producing 265bhp and 258Ibs ft torque channelled through an adaptive 5 speed automatic gearbox and an advanced four wheel drive system the V70R AWD is an immensely capable car in all weathers.

As pictures show(see our website for full picture slideshow) this is a car that's got pin straight lines on it's flanks. There are zero pin dents, which is a testimony to the care this car's had. It's so well preserved throughout, it still looks near new some 17 years after it rolled off the production line. Whilst detailing this car, we noticed a few small blemishes, as to be expected of a car of this age: On the front n/ s wing there's some small scratches that have been touched-in. They're difficult to photograph, but visible enough that we'll have the (paint only!) damaged area repainted so the repair is invisible. There's also a small touched-in area which is more visible on the front n/ s bumper corner (see pictures). This too will be professionally repaired as part of our preparation in UK. There are some very small scratches on the loading area of the rear bumper. These have been thoughtfully touched-in by the previous owner too, but are too small to warrant paintwork repairs. Mentioned herewith to give a complete report. f you look at the three pictures of the rear, you'll see the bumper's in excellent condition too.

Interior as pictures show is in fantastic condition throughout showing minimal wear and a great patina. The heated leather/ alcantara diamond stitched seats are in superb condition, there are no cigarette burns or stains either. Steering wheel is unworn, as is the shift lever - similarly near new. Ashtray has had virtually no use and cigar lighter shows no signs of use so we believe this was a non-smoker's car. Floor mats are also in excellent condition, which indicates to us that this car was mainly used in the city and the carpet on the boot floor is still like new, indicating this car wasn't used for load carrying much - if ever. We did notice minor scratches and marks on the dashboard (see pictures), which are barely visible, but mentioned to give a complete report. It's possible to have the dash repaired, if desired - Cost in UK is around £150 to do this.

V70R’s are fantastic to drive and hide there bulk incredibly well feeling light on there toes despite being a big estate, handling is taut, steering feeling is great and the 4WD provides immense security in all weathers. the charismatic 5-pot 20V engine is smooth and powerful and provides plenty of overtaking punch when needed, the 5-speed adaptive automatic gearbox shifts smoothly and precisely and is a real pleasure to use, just smooth refined progress. Interiors are squeak and rattle free and the whole feeling is of a car that is incredibily solid and surefooted. If you looking for a fast and practical eye catching estate to cover all bases in your day to day life this stunning V70R could be the pefect choice. Costing £38, 000 when new in 2000 this is a lot of estate for the money! Our friends over at Newera imports in Japan have driven this example at length and are pleased to report it drives beautifuly and without fault. This V70R comes with original manuals and service history(Volvo Japan). It had it's timing belt replaced at 59, 500km, well before it was worn out. It's clearly been very well cared for by it’s previous mature owner. The overall condition of this example is fantastic and we are confident this car will go to someone who truly appreciates the Phase 3 V70R and wants the very best. Only around 500 Phase-3 models of the V70R were ever made for sale (for worldwide supply incl. the U. S.) and with only around 70 of those sold in the UK, these are rare cars on the road nowadays.

Priced at £SOLD OTR Currently held in Japan this V70R AWD can be reserved with a deposit of £1500 for prompt shipment to the UK.

Full UK OTR(on the road) preperation to include UK registering, 12 months MOT & full valet & service.
