Just test drove a '98 V70 R and a '99 V70 R

Both are 98s
Both look like crap and I've NEVER seen one without a trip computer, it's standard equipment
Are you sure it has no TC?

Yes, absolutely sure. There was only a factory blank where the switch would have been.

I wish id taken a photo of the manufacture plate. Having so many owners, who knows, maybe one of them faked an R (with a AWD) with paint, wheels and seats (which were correct R).

Yeah, I'm sure
Possibly a bad switch or broken trip computer.
Removed swich and replace with a $1.00 switch blank

Bump for a 10-year-old mystery. I'm still curious what happened to that Saffron to make it so odd.

If you know that feeling you get in a creepy old vacant house, that's the feeling I got in this Saffron.

I test drove an E class Mercedes wagon once that gave me that feeling. The seller had even advertised it with the wrong phozo of his previous wagon, the one I looked at eas in way wirde condition. Buying old luxury cars is a nightmare over here...
