Still haven’t had a chance to detail the 850R I bought way back in June, which is why I’m only posting these now. Can’t believe I’ve had it over 6 months.
Wonderful car, perfect for 2 child seats and a boot-full of buggies and bags, or 200kg of wood pellets, or simply pissing it down country roads.
Loads of work to do though, there’s definitely a(nother) boost leak somewhere, and the brakes need to be upgraded, and it needs a bluetooth head, and, and…
Here it is in the IKEA car park the day I picked it up.
And here’s some fun I had on the way home. The spare had a puncture too.
More pics after I’ve had it detailed.
The vid is crap, but if you can listen to the LS400 motor without wetting yourself then you’re not a true car nut.

I saw the teaser for this ages ago but forgot to look for the whole thing. Obviously the road/park stuff is staged, but still very cool.
I want to say I want one, but even my vivid imagination can’t concoct a scenario in which it could happen. Such a wonderful car, and that’s from someone utterly bored of Astons. Well, bored of looking at them…
My current bus is an 850R. Volvos really aren’t as boring as you think. :)
No idea of the original source, but it made me laugh because there’s always one of the Cozy Cars outside my window….
