Afternoon, Thought I would post here to introduce myself. I live in North America - Northern VA (DC Metro Area) and posting pics here of my 1997 854R in Graphite Gray Metallic. 129k miles and did some minor upgrades. Enjoy!

Welcome to the forums! Nice R you have there. Its nice to see them still around in other countries too. Is it a auto box or the manual?
Hi how did you come across VPC? Very nice R and in a very rare colour, Andy on here has one the same and its my favourite 854 R on the forum.

Very nice R and in a very rare colour, Andy on here has one the same and its my favourite 854 R on the forum.[/QUOTE] I was looking through google for other 427 850Rs and most of them are across the pond. From what I gather and the information that Volvo of North America told me, mine is the only one in 427 in North America. Made in Belgium, spent some time in Hawaii, Arizona and Texas. I bought it from Texas and shipped it up here sight un-seen. I have Bilstein struts/shocks with Klein springs, 302mm ATE rotors and Akobono pads, ARD Green Tune at 17psi and an EST Intake system. Some paint damage on the spoiler but other than that pretty good shape. Link to Andy's car?
It must be cool knowing you have the only one! Here is Andy's.http://www.vpcuk.org/forums/showthread.php?49874-Damien-The-resurrection&highlight=andysr

Last thing I want to do is have to squat to get into the car. Shame I am selling the car but I don't have enough time to work on it.
