GLT spec "Manual" in black, has roof rails, heated seats, heated mirrors, electric pack. comes with the GLT spec T5 "Columba" alloys all four corners have new directional tyres, and two spare Columba alloy wheels. 138k on the clocks, cam belts changed at 120k, full volvo service history from date of purchase in 1995 to begining of this year, privacy glass. only one previous owner. tax and test due in september buy it now for £1500 or if i get her TnT'd £1650. a real tidy example, a few minor scratches nowt major.

since my purchase it has had new shocks, new discs and pads, new rear shock mounts, engine breathers done, and a wheel speed sensor. i also aquired the roof rails, all it needs IMHO is the spoiler and a tow hitch, the cables for the gears need adjustment as she occasionally pops out of second when slowing down, this is a common occurance with the 850 series, ring up volvo if you dont believe me, other than that she is perfect. The cars BHP is 225 so it is very very pokey, i should have washed pollished, and vacumed it for the pics but as you can see it was cloudy and it is raining now :( but you get the idea of the car in its worst state.

a BARGAIN for a car with one previous lady owner full service history and under average miles for its age ! plus its black !!! rarely seen*wink* usually they tend to be blue, bottle green or red, but rarely black, and rarely the GLT spec :) not many estates will fit a chesterfield settee in and get the door shut !!!! i also have a spare ABS pump and ecu for it which are worth a bit, i seen it on a car and had it just in case, later found that volvo had serviced the lot prior to the last owner selling it to me.

reason for sale is i am transfering to another station so me mileage is going up, plus tunnel expenses etc. will miss her when she goes, but its time for a diesel, or rice burner.
here are some pics.

aye its the abs module and the pump, and its for non TRACS volvos. apparently there is a difference.

I was looking for 80 quid for it though. recond abs modules are like £150 you could sell the pump on.

not sure summit like 4psi very little, that is why they last so long :) could be wrong iam just guessing.

just this minute finished cleaning mine, dropped the oil and changed the filter, just waiting for the top engine steady bush to come :) if i had thought on i should have asked you to rip it off ure dads ! is his an 850 ? and does it have a spoiler ? if so i would have it off ya, thats all mine is missing now !

That's because you're going to slow! I get about 30 mpg when pottering along at 70mph but when I wind it up to 80 mph (on the French Motorways of course) I get about 40 mpg. Save the planet drive faster!

Sorry, to hijack the thread, good luck with the sale, I'd buy it if it wasn't for the fact that I've got an almost identical one sat on my drive already.

Divide by approx 11 to get the price in pounds...

Yes, that's 10 times the price in the UK!
