1996 My beloved 850 R Automatic SOLD

Pains me to do this but a family illness and lots more miles means its time to let the old girl go to pastures new. Anyone reading this knows how rare these are and currently only 39 taxed! I have used this car daily for the last year after a full recommission to get it back its best. I got her from the only family to own it since new. It was passed from father to son and then his wife, it was off the road when the father lost his sight in approx 2009. They kept the car as he loved it so much until he sadly passed and i bought it.

I am a massive car enthusiast this car has been maintained regardless of cost and ive gone over and above what was required for it to be as reliable and a joy to drive as it can be.

The car has FULL volvo/ specialist service history and fully traceable mileage. The odometers fail on these cars and half of them have no history. NOT mine. Its perfect, has just done 116, 480 (will rise as is used daily)

Its totally original bar the jetex exhaust fitted during the recommission and has nothing but OEM volvo parts fitted to the car. Its never been tuned or modified for performance and the auto gearbox is very nice indeed. Even the specialist i use commented how dry the engine is and how well it drives. The interior is beautifully clean and original and the electrics all function as they should. Dash warning lights ALL work and the car is free from errors.

The wheels are desperate for a refurbishment and the bumper trims need re dying. I was going to do these but simply havent had the time with the situation at home.

A very rare and very honest car. I Would love to see it go to a good home to be loved like i have. As the market floods with imports with no history and bogus mileage. This car has to be one of the best for sale anywhere at the moment.

* Additional to the car I have got a correct m59 manual transmission with lsd* this can be included in the deal for the right price.
