From the way it's written up, I'd be fearful of buying this.
First, absolutely no provenance - what engine internals has it got and how has it been driven and maintained. "My mate says" isn't really good enough. Second, from the attitude of the description, it seems to me that it probably has been thrashed to within an inch of its life. Third, it's been unloved in so many areas - all the focus is on the boy racer engine but everything else has either been put aside or lashed together. Fourth, the seller obviously doesn't have a lot of knowledge about 850's in general due to a number of erroneous comments and statements which compounds my concern as to how it's been cared for. Just my opinion you understand. John

😅😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
I think he is dreaming if he thinks he would get that? But then again I could be very wrong and some poor chap ends up buying a lemon. Doing some more digging on the car,I've found out one good thing. It has a 18T turbo and from what I can see from the images the 850 t5r seats. Shame he wont break as I'd buy the front seats. Good luck to the old chap thou. Last edited by Mkengineering; Mar 31st, 2021 at 16:42. |

If we all went through past episodes of Police Camera Action, Police Interceptors and Traffic Cops I'm sure we would find a clip that shows us how well it goes lol.
