Difference between 850R and T5-R? - Page 2

Sep 1st, 2005, 20:36

hi
The info was given to us by volvo corporation uk's customer relations department.
It took them a week to obtain and the figure quoted was the official quota that volvo uk sold.Based on all cars that were imported along the correct importing procedures of volvo corp uk,and sold through uk volvo dealerships.
The number of R cars in the uk might be higher than this OFFICIAL figure,on how they came to be in the uk who knows?

If anybody doubts this information,please contact volvo corporation uk.

Found this a long time ago on the net somewhere, shows all the world wide allocations.
Not sure what it will look like once posted but if anybody wants it I can always e-mail the file.

The 850R saloon has a different spoiler to any other 850!
