A little treatment on the bumpers etc, and take it to your next car show. :)
Thanks, I totally agree, the rear bumper in particular needs sorting. I have a product to try that worked on an old XC70 I had, so hoping that will work :D

Your 850 would get $10k US here. Maybe more. I know cars in UK aren't as price inflated as here, so take this with a grain of salt. I see UK Volvos on Facebook Marketplace that are soooo inexpensive and nice.
Help keep MVS on the web -> click sponsors' links here on MVS when you buy from them.

Also -> Amazon link. Click that when you go to buy something on Amazon and MVS gets a cut!

1997 850 T5 [gone] w/ MSD ignition coil, Hallman manual boost controller, injectors, R bumper, OMP strut brace

2004 V70 R [gone]

Wow that's interesting to hear! The standard non-turbo models haven't really appreciated in the UK - well not by a huge amount. A T5 or R model is a different matter of course :D

Ooops, N/A... the turbo wheels threw me off. Probably a $6k car here in the US.

No worries, still, the cars seem to be worth a fair bit more over in the US!

That's a lovely car and you've done well to freshen it up. Interesting color, stick shift, sweet wheels. Good stuff.

Glad you like it! I'm a fan of the velour too, wears really well :)
