Channel 4 Looking for a Volvo 850

Post by olliekp »

Hi All,

I hope this is ok to post in here.

Channel 4 is making a series celebrating the modern classic cars of the 80s, 90s & 00s and wants to hear from owners, enthusiasts, fan clubs and petrol heads who love their cars.

One of the cars we are looking at potentially featuring is the Volvo 850 and I would love to hear from any 850 owners.

Whether you use the car every day it only comes out for special occasions? Whether you take it to car show's or use it for the whole family? Whether it’s in perfect condition or you’re repairing, restoring, or modding it, we want to hear from you!

If you’d love to see your car on TV, email [email protected] with a brief description of your vehicle at and put “Bangers cars” in the subject heading.

Thank you for your kind words,
Sadly they are looking for cars from the south east of the UK and me being in the central belt of Scotland is too far away for them to film
