Looks like I need to admit I was wrong about price, along with many others on this thread! Slice of humble pie ordered to go with my morning coffee!

Okay it's not yet near the original estimate but I never expected this to be fast approaching £15K.

Just goes to prove that something is worth what someone will pay for it....!

The colour is wrong (needs to be that yellow), the gearbox is wrong and the milage is wrong.

A similar car on another auction site (albeit an 850r not the t5-r, which proceeded it) sold for 5k
A manual yellow T5 is the only Volvo, I’ve ever liked.

The original article is wrong about T-5R having a LSD.

It was the 850R that had the LSD as standard from the factory, the T-5R was LSD-less.

So I see it didn't quite make the reserve despite getting far higher than most of us thought! A shame, hopefully a deal in there for the right buyer that the seller can get on board with.
