Hopefully I can do the car justice where it will have a pampered life once again. I came across an advert from the original owner stating "Reluctant Sale" so I'm sure he would be happy to know it's going to be pampered once again A bit more polishing today and the exterior is almost done, still to wax it which can be done at my leisure as it's tucked up in the garage for now Not too shabby for being 23 year old paintwork

What a lovely car in fantastic condition. Best of luck with it.
May I ask how much did you pay for it?

Sibling rivalry. Garage jealousy, triple fold. A lift even!
Yes the car looks very nice too. |

My 850 came with two sets of wheels, the ones fitted are 15" Volvo Antlia rims fitted with the cheapest brand new tyres the previous owner could find, so today I had the 16" Columba rims fitted with some new Avon ZV7s which will make driving a lot safer, especially in the wet

Looking good! No doubt they transformed the ride too.

The ride still isn't perfect, a combination of pressure (the handbook has different pressure than the fuel flap!!!) and a slight balance problem or possibly worn bushes which will require investigating.
A few pictures when out for a test drive

I'll keep my eyes out for this car when I'm out and about as I am also North of one wall and South of the other
