Fitted with Nankang tyres 
Yes I did spot those - could be worse, Nankangs are 'ok' middle of the road tyres I'd say.I also spotted 12 months MOT / next due April 2016... ie been on sale for 3 months now. Must be getting twitchy...

Ive had Nankangs on one of my sheds in the past.
Id rate them as 'top' of the s
t brands (if that makes sense), just mildly better than Linglongs and stuff like that. No where near proper mid-range stuff like UniRoyal, Falken, Hankook etc etc.
Fair enough, I thought NS2s were in with Toyo, Falken etc so presumed they were fairly mid-range.Id rate them as 'top' of the s

In addition those tyres are the wrong width.
Good beardage - what have they done then?

Since I posted that (some time ago!) I actually found out more about the car via the Volvo Forums.
Its important to note that its only a 5 seater, which is important as all UK spec cars should be 7 seats.....
Turns out these cars where specially built by Volvo for the Ocean Race event as press/ferry cars... I think 10 were made in total.
V8 facelift Ocean Race cars were not built as a 'general spec' for sale to the public. So its a rare old Hector.
Cant find the magazine review but am sure that when it was tested the XC90 V8 did 11mpg average .Its important to note that its only a 5 seater, which is important as all UK spec cars should be 7 seats.....

So quite a thirsty Hector.

Still there too. Thankfully it's nigh on 200 miles away so I can't be tempted.
