My brother brought this 850R in from England good few years back. Rare car as it was 1998. They stopped making them in 97 but this sat in a Volvo meseum in Sweden up until 2004 or something. It had Ap calipers and good spec. Was mint with 5 original volan wheels. I'd love to know where it is and would be interested in buying it. He sold it to a lad in limerick.

Any help would be great.
Thanks

Think the owner of this reads/posts here.... rarely...

I've seen it myself heading Southbound on the M50 around about Sandyford/Dundrum in the last 6-8months, so it's still about.

Your brother sold it in 2009? I saw it for sale in the interim, but I think it might have been on the old Irish volvo club forums, which are gone now. The only other place I could have seen it is on volvoforums.org.uk, but the only reference I can find to it there is from the sale in 2009. There's a new Volvo/Saab forum out there to replace the old one, that might be the place to ask if you can find the damned thing.

Thanks for the help. Yeah he sold it in 2009. Think I might have found it. I don't think the guy who has it will sell it though!!!

Be mad to give up a good one at this stage. I'll be keeping mine when I buy my next bus.
