"The saffron color, the R emblem, and the wheels. And the front spoiler. They all signal something timelessly attractive to the performance-minded Volvo enthusiast."

Condition

  • Mechanical condition

    Mechanically and technically everything feels good, including the brakes, automatic gearbox, and chassis. The timing belt was replaced along with all rollers, and the water pump, oils, and filters were replaced in 2020 at 341,560 km. No chip tuning or other modifications known to the owner. The brakes were replaced all around in 2024.

  • Interior condition

    The driver's seat shows some wear, while the remaining seats are better preserved. The steering wheel was restored a couple of years ago. Aluminum panels instead of wood inlays are considered somewhat rarer. The AC does not work; according to the workshop, the clutch on the compressor is broken. Otherwise, however, the system holds refrigerant and is itself leak-free.

  • Exterior condition

    Paint is in normal condition considering age and mileage, with marks and stone chips. Somewhat more loading scratches on the rear bumper. The right front door has a couple of rust spots below the trim, and the tailgate along the window trim. A rust-free tailgate in the correct color is included. Clear-glass headlights and US turn signals. Original Saturnus wheels with new front tires mounted this year. Removable tow hitch.

  • General condition

    A high-mileage car in fine mechanical condition with original specification. Cosmetically restorable for a future life in enthusiast ownership.

Facts about the model

The model was a further development of the popular 850 R and represented Volvo's ambition to combine family functionality with sports car-like performance. The same 2.3-liter five-cylinder produced 250 hp in the front-wheel-drive versions with manual gearbox, while the all-wheel-drive AWD version with automatic transmission delivered 240 hp. The model stood out visually with a more aggressive front spoiler, five-spoke aluminum wheels called "Saturnus," and dual exhaust outlets in certain markets. Inside, the V70 R offered an exclusive driver environment with bolstered sport seats in a combination of leather and alcantara, instrument panels with blue backgrounds, and trim in light and dark fine wood or aluminum. Volvo pulled off the feat of washing away the traditional "boring" image of station wagons and created a modern classic with all versions and cheerful colors. Saffron Yellow, like the auction car, is always attractive and sought after.

Auction information

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
