"A project car with plenty of potential to develop further. Early 850Rs are rare today and well worth preserving."

Description

Italian-specification R model imported to Sweden in 2005. For the Italian market, Volvo offered a special 2.0-litre version of the 850R due to local tax regulations. This example has since been upgraded with a 2.5-litre engine.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition

    A great deal has been modified on the car, including BC Racing V1 suspension front and rear. New tyres all around. Volvo strut brace and new dampers and springs throughout. A 3-inch exhaust system from the turbo back with a race catalytic converter. Ported and modified turbo by Mulles Hoj & Turbomek in Gothenburg. The engine has been replaced with a 2.5T unit and remapped by Hi-Tuning Gothenburg. Walbro GSS342 fuel pump. New tyres all around.

    The ECC climate control system is not functioning, nor is the turbo boost gauge. A brand-new head unit has been installed and works well. The display is functional.

    Overall, the car runs very well and was serviced approximately 1,000 km ago. The wheels rub against the inner wheel arches at full steering lock. The rear brake pads are worn thin.

    A considerable amount of receipts and documentation is included. Winter tyres are not included.

  • Interior condition

    The interior has been completely removed and reinstalled. As a result, some trim pieces do not fit perfectly as intended. Not everything has been refitted, but all parts are included and will accompany the car.

    The headliner is sagging and has a tear near the sunroof. The driver's seat shows signs of wear and has a repair on the left-hand side.

  • Exterior condition

    The exterior has a used, driver-quality appearance, with various scratches, scuffs, and a few minor dents. Some fading of the clear coat is visible in places around the roof.

    The bodywork is generally solid, although minor surface rust can be seen around the wheel arch edges and along the front edge of the sunroof. This appears to be superficial, with nothing more significant present.

    There is a crack on the right-hand side of the windscreen.

  • General condition

    At its core, this is a solid car with a desirable specification and a number of quality upgrades already fitted. There are a few issues to sort out and some cosmetic work to address, but it has the potential to become a very nice example.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
  • For items that have not been collected within 14 days storage costs may be charged.
