Rare 850 'T5' 1994 M Reg

[Roderick Plinge]

Hi guys, my girlfriend is selling her S60, and now I've decided to sell my 850 T5 Estate. I purchased the vehicle in February 2010 and one of the tech guys on the forum here confirmed that my car was quite rare, being the 2.3 turbo model made during 1993-4 with the large turbo pipe coming over the top of the engine. The vehicle is dark green with black leather. The mileage is 115k GENUINE with a superb Volvo service history for most of its life. I have the original service books etc. The OSF wing has a crease in it, and so does the front bumper, but I have replacement parts here which just need fitting and painting. Other than that there is the odd scratch here and there but she looks great when washed. The heater control doesn't work but again I have a replacement salvage part. I also have a pair of roof bars and a tailgate spoiler which go with the car. The car has run perfectly for two years but recently its experienced a slight anomaly when starting; it revs up to about 1800 revs and then settles down but runs a little lumpy and smells 'rich'. I wonder if this is the airflow meter, although I have stripped and cleaned this. Otherwise runs superb and is incredibly fast! I don't want to put any money into the car now, but it's far too good to scrap so is anyone interested? I am open to any offers that are 'sensible'. The car has 12 months MoT and taxed until May. Honestly, this is a superb car that just needs a little TLC. I have used it for two years and it has cost me 70 quid for two front tyres! Please don't make me scrap it! Car in Cheshire. Best wishes to you all.
PS: Send me your email and I will forward pics from my phone. Cheers.

Why not just put a set of photos up on here rather than offer to forward them?

[charlotte001]

is your car automatic or manual ?

Rare? Surely just a normal t5

I thought the large pipe across the bow of the engine was standard on all early T5's? (Such as mine...)

Best of luck with sale - you'll generate more interest by putting pictures up here though.
