Default 850R UK Sales Information

I contacted Volvo UK a while ago asking for a breakdown of the sales of UK market 850Rs... and today I got the figures.

Some very interesting numbers there - for example there were no white manual 850R saloons sold, and contrary to common belief turquoise was not the rarest colour - it was white.

The good news is that if you have a UK market 850R - of any colour or body style - your car is one of only 512 sold.



Lots more info on my website https://850r.co.uk (sorry for the shameless plug )

Very interesting, a good friend has a manual S70R in black which he keeps going on about selling

I’ve checked on how many left and the figures are simply startling

He needs to keep it as they are rare as hens teeth
