"Low mileage in a classic sedan design, nice color, and a fairly understated amount of equipment."

Description

In May 1998, Göte from Vaggeryd purchased the car brand new from Nybergs Bil AB in Jönköping. Göte always drove a Volvo, but his brother Olle always drove a Mercedes. The brothers had grown up together and did not travel far in their cars. When Göte died a few years ago, his brother sold the S70 to Götaström cars in Skillingaryd, where it is presently.
The car is a beautifully basic model with a two-liter five-cylinder engine producing 126 horsepower, no radio or antenna, and a simple and straightforward heating/ventilation system. Nonetheless, Göte decided to buy electric windows, an automatic transmission with three driving modes, and a ski hatch in the center armrest.
The car is delivered to the next owner freshly serviced and inspected/Moted.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    In this context, the little but delightful two-liter five-cylinder engine sounds familiar, and the automatic transmission shifts easily and sweetly. The front upper support arm bearings groan a little when the wheels are fully turned during driving and maneuvering.

  • Interior condition:

    Interior is bright, well-preserved, tidy, and beautiful, with a colorful fabric design. The upholstery on all four door panels has loosened slightly, which is not uncommon on Volvo cars from this era. The same is true for the window controls, where the material has simply become a little sticky with age.

  • Exterior condition:

    Original paint in good condition with some minor marks and scratches on the bumper corners and driver's door. The original, unworn tires from 1998, with new feeling brakes, and the lack of winter wheels are also noteworthy. During the winter, this car was stored in a heated garage.

  • General condition:

    A low-mileage, basic-equipment Volvo youngtimer destined to become a future classic. The automatic transmission, modest engine, and otherwise basic equipment make it even more appealing to collectors.

Facts about the model

När Volvo 850 skulle få en uppdatering i modellcykeln – aka facelift – efter drygt fem år på marknaden och med en ny plattform i antågande byttes också namnet till S70 för att harmoniera med resten av det dåvarande och kommande modellutbudet. Den i alla konfigurationer lovordade femcylindriga motorn i tvålitersversion togs fram tidigt för att homologera motorn till varumärkets deltagande i BTCC, British Touring Car Championship, där de nådde mest framgång och vinst i mästerskapet 1998 med den grundmaskinen i S40:n (reglerna tillät max motorstorlek 2 liter).
