"It has its marks, blisters and history from a trackday/support/demonstration life on the race track of Mantorp Park in south central Sweden."

Description

It was professionally built with the help of the factory which provided the Sportpromotion workshop with a bare hand-welded pre-production shell with a VIN number, some three 850 T5R prototypes as donor cars and a prepared engine from the factory's engine development test lab. The specs of the engine is not known in details, but for sure you take notice of the sharper exhaust note due to the camshaft's angles and of course the ECU was works prepared.
At a few yearly very special occasions the petrolheads of the royal entourage are given the possibilites of getting the taste of contemporary machines.
At these occasions this car has been driven by our very happy motoring monarch.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    An engine with everything that marks a 25 year old specification in terms of charateristics, technology and driving experience. A higher boost than 1,2 bar produces a quite nervous engine.

  • Interior condition:

    Older Momo racing seats, fully functional for track days, but of course not race worthy. An up-to-date higher mounting of the six point racing harness in the rollover cage is recommended. The electric windows panel is neatly hidden in the glove campartment.

  • Exterior condition:

    The car show traces of usage from the years at the track, but the orginal red T5R paintwork is intact. The weels are the early ones with titanium and are in reasonable condition and the semi slicks can still be used some track day used.

  • General condition:

    A semi works purpose built Volvo 850 Racing in great used condition, ready to race for fun or use it as a 90' vintage track day car.
