"The saffron color, the R-badge and the wheels. And the front spoiler. All signal something timelessly attractive for the performance-focused Volvo enthusiast."

Description

It was delivered to its first owner with the fitting surname Ladd in April 1999. Prior to that, it was likely a demonstrator vehicle at the dealer Rejmes Personvagnar AB in Halmstad. The current owner purchased the car in December a year later. For almost 26 years, it has been his everyday car. It is mechanically unmodified with careful servicing throughout the years, although the documentation does not tell the complete story. Used, patinated, worn with fine potential for a lighter restoration. The most recent approved inspection was completed 2026-05-04.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition

    Mechanically and technically everything feels good, including brakes, clutch and chassis. No chip tuning or other manipulation. The engine bay is not cleaned, has some surface rust and needs a bit of cosmetic attention.

  • Interior condition

    Fine interior, but the alcantara fabric on the driver's seat often shows wear on long-distance driving, and this example is no exception. Otherwise good headlining with a nicely functioning sunroof and fine upholstery on the remaining seats. The door panels show some marks and wear. The sound system is locked and unfortunately the code is missing. The dog crate construction in the cargo area is included for those interested.

  • Exterior condition

    Partially repainted on the right side following a ditch run on a minor road in winter. Some marks on the bumpers, the driver's door handle and also some white paint splashes on the right rear. The latter should be easy to polish away. New headlights front and missing/removed headlight wipers and rear window wiper.

  • General condition

    Long-distance cruiser in fine mechanical condition with original specification. Cosmetically restorable for a future enthusiast lifestyle.

Facts about the model

The model was a further development of the popular 850 R and represented Volvo's ambition to combine family functionality with sports car performance. The same 2.3-litre straight-five with 250 hp powered the front-wheel-drive versions with manual gearbox, while the four-wheel-drive AWD version with automatic transmission delivered 240 hp. The model stood out visually through an aggressive front spoiler, five-spoke aluminium alloy wheels called "Saturnus" and dual exhaust pipes on certain markets. Inside, the V70 R offered an exclusive driver environment with sculpted sports seats in a blend of leather and alcantara, instrument panels with blue background as well as panels in light and dark burr walnut or aluminium. Volvo succeeded in the feat of washing away the traditional "boring" stamp from estate cars and created a modern classic with all versions and happy colours. Saffron yellow, like the car at auction, is always attractive and sought-after.

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.
