Did I spot this car in Lenzie this morning ? Looked very similar and had a private plate.

The S80 V8 is a fairly rare car not many of them about and they sound very nice. To bad I did not see this sooner I already have a V8 (not Volvo)

Is this the model with the 4c suspension? (I think it only came in the sport version) The engine in these are fantastic another good place to advertise would be pistonheads good luck with the sale

Hi, did you sell the car in the end?

Was looking at the v8s. Have a d3 but would like awd and more grunt (maybe mid life crisis related!).

Only one I can currently see is about 4k overprice given its mileage.

What economy do/did you get from it?

Question

Hope its not breaking the rules but I can't PM yet (have asked for count to be bumped) but am interested in contacting bemak187 to see if he still has the car. Could someone PM him for me to point him back to this thread please. I will be abroad next week for a couple of weeks so was hoping to catch him before I went. He last logged on a few hours before I replied above!

Great to hear You get Yourself a bigger brother. Shame to see Your s60 going as it was an excellent example. But hope You enjoy Your new toy...:-) And a great choice of 185hp as mine considering is a bit lack of ooomph. Still great piece of equipment. Will You put Yours in Showroom section?

Hi Lukas, sorry for delay in responding but just come across your message. I had a wee hiccup with change down but now rectified. Delighted with the car and you will get a good look at next Section meet. I bought it from Inverness (Arnold) and although I have been critical of them in the past I cannot fault them, both Inverness and Kirkcaldy. Hopefully we will catch up at the next meet.
