Hello from Sweden

[Bear]

Hello all dutch Volvo 850 lovers!

First of all, I would like to thank you for this interesting board! My knowledge in dutch is zero, but it seams like you are a good team of guys and girls!

I would like to show you my Volvo 850 T5 from 1997. It´s built for the US-market and returned home to Sweden with it´s owner in november 1999.
This is the reason why I bought it. I have since 2010 a 960 from 1995, also imported from USA. And when the blue T5 showed up, with a interesting history, and only one week between their return to Sweden in 1999 I could not resist. So both have the same letters in the registration number, only different digits.

From the scratch the car was a stock T5, but I found a 850R-interior, a bumper and a nice set of 17" Titan wheels. So now I feel the car is a bit better. There is still some work to do, the hood needs a respray for example. But that´s the plan for next winter.

Hello Björn!

Welcome here, the car looks great!

Damn, that's a nice ride you've got there. The interior is very clean and looks as new. Did you lower the car, and if so, what kind of kit did you use?Looks great!
Nice to have a Swedish 850 on board! Have fun and keep posting!

Thanks guys!

Yes the interior is in quite good shape, some minor scratches on the leather on the left side of the drivers seat, as most of Volvos have. I used a wet vac on the seats, since it´s Alcantara and not suede it was possible, and it turned out perfect, and the water was brown/gray after, so there was a amount of dirt in the seats before.

Yes the car is lowered on the pics, sadly cutted springs. But the inspection did not like it, so now I have 60/40 springs on, sadly no pic for the moment. But I will post one the following days.

Thanks once again!

A stunningly beautiful color combination, I must say.
One of my favorites. Dark blue with beige.
And judging from the pictures, very nicely conserved!

What´s the car´s and engine´s mileage?
