[Ramituppa]

Going to be getting my Volvo back on the road ready to sell so just putting this out for any interest

Will update mods done as started modding it about 2 years ago and ended up getting my octavia as well and the Volvo was left to sit for a while

Super, I've had a soft spot for the v70 for years, an R more so.

 

posting to keep one eye...

Looks like a nice example. How much would you be wanting?

[ruffday]

Regretted selling both my T5s had a V70 manual with 100k and a C70 auto with 85k and should have kept them.

will be keeping an eye on this.

Awesome car, love quick volvo estates, glws

[Dwabo]

I was after a T5/D5 before comitting to the Octavia... however I went to see an S40..but it was tiny !.. I was also looking at the V50 too.. Simple design..well built..and go for years

[ruffday]

any updates on this.

[JohnRS]

Mmm nice. I had a stage 2 P2 V70R before the S3. I'm interested to see the full details once posted.

Hi so sorry guys been away for 2 weeks but back now. I will put more details regarding the Volvo this week as its at my parents house so I will take more pics mileage mods paperwork. It was and is a really nice example and drives really nice. Only thing I remember about it was that the traction control / abs wasn't working. I've had 3 v70 T5s and none of them had traction working been to Volvo and it was usually down to a sensor on the wheels which makes the abs work. This was my 2nd T5R my first was an auto 4 wheel drive with over 260,000 miles and going strong.

This one is the rarer manual fwd version but has all the little R extras. I also fitted the proper Volvo 7 seat conversion with seatbelts and all works really nice.

Nice colour ! What about the price, what figure do you have in mind ?

[Ramituppa]

With the work I put into this myself including it will have a 12 month mot had new discs and pads new battery few mods which will be listed this weekend when I go to my parents house condition of bodywork which is really good and low mileage as its not an x police car I'm hoping for 2k+

Not many about especially the R model and even more so the manual seen a few for 2500 on eBay and there's a blue one on eBay for £7000 same year but it is mint.

hahaha - thanks for clarifying; i read it and thought it was super low mileage!!!

[Awesam]

Whats the MPG like?

[BJB540]

Any idea on price yet?

[Volvomeg]

Whats the MPG like?

 

Mid 20's usually

[Ramituppa]

Mpg is around mid 20s but she's not too bad on the motorway, the only other parts I have for her is a white T5-R twin exit rear bumper. I bought this to fit to my old T5 x police flatted it all down and painted it but it was never fitted. Been stored at my mates garage for about 3 years and will either sell separate or include with the sale of the car if wanted.

If she passes the mot as I'm expecting her to then I'm starting price around £2499 with 12 months mot. Been on a few Volvo sites and some of these cars are going for 3k plus with some people offering more for the right car. I understand mine is not a one owner mint example but she is very clean and does have lots of history which I'll photo and upload as well. Also looking for swaps pref for a sports bike 600 cc min but not a really old one.

[Ramituppa]

Yea sorry for any confusion on the mileage

187031 will prob have another 15 miles on for the mot next week but then that should be it

So under average mileage for an 18 year old car and especially for these tanks lol

Just seen this - what would you think to swaps on a CBR929 Fireblade? 2001 model with 35k miles very good condition?

 

I just happened to log onto brisky at work bored but been after a T5R for a while!

[Ramituppa]

If you can send me some details on the bike I may very well be interested

[bonelorry]

This is not a T5R, It is a V70R. Totally different cars.

[Ramituppa]

Yes this is a V70 R ....the T5R was the earlier 850 model....
