My 2007 S60 T5 manual, with the legendary B5244T5 engine with K24 combo. Was searching for one for years but only came across mostly pre-facelift autos, which were no good for what I wanted which was to build a sleeper.
Thankfully, I found this one;
Believed to be one of only 3 T5 facelifts in Ireland with the manual 6 speed box. This particular example was a one owner car, FDSH and low mileage. I happened to come across the ad minutes after it was posted, which is a good thing because the PO told me that in the couple days it took for me to view the car, his phone was ringing off the book with some offering nearly double what he had it advertised for (€2500) so that they could take my place. Thankfully he stuck with me and I managed to secure it.
The car is completely mint, which I know is a term often thrown around, but it's very true with this example. Mechanically it drove absolutely flawlessly, and cosmetically was a 9/10 car requiring a touch up on the rear bumper and a wheel refurb.
In my year of ownership, I've turned it from a mostly stock example (PO got a remap boosting it from 260hp to 308hp), to a fire breathing but understated sleeper. It's now pushing just shy of 470hp, with the only giveaways being the rather throaty exhaust burble and the XC90 V8 front brakes.
Nice. Who did the work on that?Thankfully, I found this one;
