I thought It may be worth starting a thread with interesting cars seen in breakers yards.
I recently online saw a white 850r in a breakers, which made me think of it.

Estate or saloon?, thought there was only 1 855 which used to be cherry's but now is in the loving hands of s70chris who is spending a small fortune to tart it up :)

It proves that "how many left.com" figures are incorrect.

Think there WAS 3 estates left. The other two were both auto... That means Chris's just got rarer :)

We saw a few white 850Rs here, but they're far more commonly red.
Turquoise and Oliver were common too, though I havent seen a torquoise one for a long time.
They're certainly getting rarer and often on the used market some people dont realise what they have.
The 850R, 850T5R and 1997-2000 V70R specific parts are getting rarer and rarer too. It's a little sad seeing some of them in poor condition.
Here, the 850T5R was only available as a manual sedan with examples most common in yellow, then black and a couple of Olive ones too.
We didnt get the S70R at all and our 1997-2000 V70R was AWD only.

Yes it's a bit different here, t5rs mostly green and then roughly equal number of yellow and black.
850r s mostly red and black, with teal and white being rare.

Interesting.
Officially, we only got a single olive 850T5R and it was auto. I am sure I have seen an olive T5R (not an R) in manual too.
We also got Olive 850Rs which apparently arent common overseas. I find the little nuances really interesting actually.

It feels like an age since I've been to the breakers.
A local yard is always featured in practical classics, they have allsorts of cars you have forgot about. Will take a look next time I'm around the area. ;)

I like a walk round a scrapyard, or in this case lying in nettles & mud to get a couple of radiator drain plugs

just dodgy aftermarket wheels in my post. I saw an S60 with those Eudora wheels in Dubai, nice but the design is too complicated for me
