1995 - mine from new
Saloon
Yellow - who would have any other colour?!
70,000 miles
Manual
Palma de Mallorca

A gearbox from an R was fitted after 3 months under warranty to cure a clutch vibration because the R box has a stiffer bellhousing - and a much nicer change too.

I very recently fitted a Volvo strut brace (bought from the main dealer here at €58, which is about £39) and have been extremely pleasantly surprised by the
improved general refinement of the car as well as the more obvious steering and handling bonus.

T5R - Cream Manual Estate 1994 Model
 
Hi folks!

Yep have one of these, my dream car, and I bought it with 45,000 miles about 6 years ago; it is now up to 99,800 miles. Certainly a Wolf in Sheep's clothing - Talk about torque steer, my brother nearly caught himself out on a trip to Switzerland went to overtake put his foot down and ended up straight across the road and had to drag it back on line!

A couple of others locally one - MYT5R at the local performance car spares outlet and another co-worker at Terminal 5 Heathrow has one - both cream estates.

Would be good to create a convoy of these vehicles on a trip out some day perhaps to make it interesting France/Switzerland - any takers???
