Not sure I am allowed to post this here but is anyone interested in parting with Gul Estate?! I am finally in a place where I can trade up from my T5 and I have wanted one for a while but has to be Gul Yellow! Also - there is one I see about in Loughborough (my home town) that I want to track down, standard looking Gul Yellow estate but with some non original TSW wheels (shame - I like the 17" Pegasus wheels). Any ideas? J :)

[TD="colspan: 2"]Here we have a very rare opportunity to purchase the very desirable
Volvo 850 T-5r, this particular model was only made for one year and the olive green color was produced later that year,[COLOR=#ff0000] only 500 of this color were made in the world[/COLOR] which included saloons and autos!
This is even rarer being the Manual model and only has 109k on the clock.
The car comes with mot until March 5th 2015 to which its only done a few hundred miles since, only advisories were brake discs rusted due to not being used very often. also taxed till end of october
The car has only had two owners, the most recent had it for 10 years and is a fully qualified technician so has looked after it to a very high standard.
The gentlemen was in his mid 40's so not boy racer owned.
He himself has put a brand new upgraded T16 turbo on it and all pipework and upgraded silicone joints etc last year so pulls like a train with absolutely no boost leaks, he also changed the full cam belt kit and water pump at 98k however no receipts as done all the work himself.
The service booklet is stamped with 10 stamps and 8 body and paint inspection stamps all the way up to 2003 and 61k from new by first owner, also loads of invoices and receipts for that period.
Thereafter there is lots of receipts etc for service parts as recent owner done all work himself as said above.
The car comes with all owners manuals and original embossed folder 'volvo t-5r' comes with it and even a haynes manual.
The overall condition of the car is very good as can be seen, however due to age and wear and tear it could do with a few minor imperfections doing to make mint as follows:-
-couple of bumper scuffs on corners
-wheels could do with refurb
-interior very good condition but leather could do with a feed, no rips or anything though
The car has excellent tyres all round, everything seems to work and has had a decent cd player upgrade.
The car is back on its original n reg with all relevant paperwork present as was on a private previously.
Grab yourself a very desirable, collectible car that will only rise in value, i have been very honest about the cars condition however please come and see for yourself,[/TD]

I have a copy of the data sheet he is using which is in ref to 1995 production numbers, 5000 obd1 yellow and blacks produced. The problem is that there are obd2 t5rs in yellow and black, showing that his numbers are not accurate for 1996 cars. If you check at the bottom of the wiki page, then you will see that the references are very spurious and not from sources I'd trust more than the dvla or people who can actually provide info on over 250 t5rs (chap on voc). But currently olives are twice as common, I personally don't mind olive greens.

[ATTACH=CONFIG]26078[/ATTACH]
Also it could be said that the above is total rubbish as its says that the uk received 69 guls. The dvla data show that there where over 113 on the road in 2005! So there must have been a lot more produced that the 5000 quoted on wiki.
[ATTACH=CONFIG]26079[/ATTACH]
Yes I've seen that Swedish info before, never seen that spreadsheet until now though
ive got a green and gul, but to be honest no one will ever works this out without actually getting numbers from Volvo. its easier to work with how many remain.
[QUOTE=jamesy12345;728624]Yes I've seen that Swedish info before, never seen that spreadsheet until now though[/QUOTE] I traced the origins of this spread sheet back to the original poster and found out how he got hold of the information, so I know it came from the dvla
Volvotips have the same info as Wikipedia... http://www.volvotips.com/index.php/850-2/t-5r-and-850r/ The original production planned 2.500 cars but the car was a big success so 5.500 T-5Rs (saloons and stationwagons) were produced: 1.975 of them were Cream Yellow, 500 were Dark Olive Pearl (green) and 3.025 T-5Rs were painted in Black Stone.
They are getting rarer daily, if you check how many left, the numbers are about constant 320 t5r / 850r 140 / 180 split,I like the exclusivity
[QUOTE=Ettienne;728623][ATTACH=CONFIG]26079[/ATTACH][/QUOTE] where did you find that, laughable the other colours though....:hilarious

No it's a totally pointless exercise as no useful information is stored, I.e some of the cars have been through 4 or 5 hands and posted up that many times. This is the reason I collected all forsale adverts over the last 3yrs or so, I now have 275-280 of the 320 odd 850r's / t5r's on taxed on the road, also I've popped them in folders by colour and estate or saloon and most are noted if auto or manual, so I can give a very good indication of what's left. But I'm not allowed to collect personal information on the forum (I understand the reasons why not and can't be helped) so you'll just have you use this white elephant of a stupid thread. People do however send me private messages so it's not in the public eye via Facebook etc
[QUOTE=Ettienne;783310]Pointless[/QUOTE] Not to me it isnt !

Checking the number of olive I have listed now its also very comparable to what the Volvo list says we received. yellow 2537 black 2516 green 1911 are the numbers I have and they include a full breakdown of, manual / auto / estate / saloon and if left or right hand drive and which countries received how many. also source quoted as "Volvo archives" That is unless we did actually get 50% of all the worldwide production run of olive and still currently have 20% left on our roads, which I find very hard to believe.

Just noticed I was the second person to post on the thread which does say originally post a pic, but you must have missed that part. I would ask niles to comment but I gather he is still nursing his stick mum in the south of France the last I heard (that part is sarcasm btw).
My opinion since my name came up....this thread is still a good idea as it is more a list of who is driving what on the forum, rather than a real register of the cars. Posting "pointless" after someones info is just going to piss them off btw ...but a real database of these rare cars is a good idea, so well done there Ettienne on that...I was trying to do the same with R5 turbos but then was given a link to this below: http://turborenault.co.uk/mediawiki/Renault_5_Turbo_2 Maybe something similar could be made for the Volvos

Did you contact the chap I gave you the number for with the renaults? They def had some gordinis (I had 3 ) and I think turbo2's but he runs a specialist renault garage, so most likely knows where a few are.

That site has been merged with Turbo Renault forum, which I am a member of - thanks but I never got the chance to follow it up. If he's a forum member any spare cars will get good homes I am sure anyway, to get back on topic, we have a smiley for this sort of thing.... :worthless
I was a member / am a member of andrews r5 site (whatever it was called) so still have an account on new site. There should be an orange Gordini I hooked someone up with on there last year, if it's not been bought I'll drop past next time I'm local to the seller to see if it gone Exactly for the smiley and Purple or grey t5r's are the rarest btw (experimental colours used by Volvo and still exist and registered in Sweden)
Piss me off.........yeah....he has.........but this site is all about opinions on some subjects.......not all 850R or T5R owners will be members on here/ VOC/other volvo sites so figures will be some way off there. noticed Ettiennes avatar wording.........Apt.
I have heard Ettienne keeps all kinds of data, facts and figures, if he wanted to add some extra data he could have pm`d me and i would have given him some info on the car for his database..........but no..............best i leave it there.........

Gul,Olive Green,Black...a picture of the car from a side view......sure that helps !..whatever the colour its a T5R........owners of these models probably think their cars are special to them...thats what matters...heard about you a while back.....seems they were right......enough of this.im off to have an intelligent conversation with someone.........

[QUOTE=Ettienne;783311] This is the reason I collected all forsale adverts over the last 3yrs or so, I now have 275-280 of the 320 odd 850r's / t5r's on taxed on the road, also I've popped them in folders by colour and estate or saloon and most are noted if auto or manual, so I can give a very good indication of what's left. [/QUOTE] Blimey, I think it's time you got a job mate, you sound like one of those old gits on the voc forum. Pop them in little folders by colour and body style. You've got to much time on your hands :ashamed:

Matty seems to have taken umbrage to it, what is the point of posting up information without reference. It does say post a pic with the information, as James was saying we have a smiley for this not written by me which is very apt "this thread is useless without pics" if he wants to show his car off then post it in the "how my ride sits" if enjoy having a look, it isn't a personal thing it's a stupid thread. Still makes no difference to my register as 90% comes via eBay / piston heads / autotrader, I just screen shot the for sale adverts, it's funny really I've found several been clocked or cat c : d that owners didn't realise.

Honest question - Whats the point in posting anything which doen't help anyone else, but you know is just going topiss one or more other peeps off? (you know who you are) This post may piss someboddy off, but I hope it helps the data gatherers and sharers to know your efforts are appreciated.(Etienne etc.) What I love about this forum is , its about the cars and sharing knowledge not about slagging people off as there's plenty of FB forums for that. Thankfully "those types" of people can F/O over there and whine to the internet, leaving us to focus on serious matters.
Hello all, first post having wanted to write one up for a while as I bought the car a few months ago, figured this was the best place to start. Did some digging and this car used to belong to Dan850R and jamesy12345 it seems. It's still going!

Hi all... Gul T5R 855 Manual 186k and ..... Gul T5R Auto 854 102k[ATTACH=CONFIG]33204[/ATTACH]
