YEs, that could have been turned over for a tidy profit indeed.

That is nuts for an 'R' with that mileage. If you live in Europe I happened upon a website in UK with classic cars and looking at the Volvos there were a whole bunch of 850R's including some improted from Japan with low mileages. RHD only. There were some LHD ones too, but up to 13,000 UK pounds for some. Crazy money!
