Cast your mind back a few years- if you saw a dark blue or other nondescript metallic version in your rear view mirror you'd slow down and move over. Sharpish. Only to see a middle aged businessman shoot past you with a grin on his face rather than the undercover cop car you were expecting. The UK traffic police fell for its reliability and standard 225bhp and as a result you can't turn on an episode of Police, Camera, Action without seeing one of these hurtling around a city centre following a stolen Nova. They were even seen on the grid of the BTCC after being fettled by TWR- surely we all remember the racing T-5 estates with two wheels in the air as they went around sharp corners? I've only driven one of these in my lifetime, but I remember the crazy torque steer, amazing pace and a feeling of true solidity that was missing in BMW's and Mercs of that era. If you floored the accelerator you could literally stand there producing more smoke than a Santa Pod burnout, best to trickle up to 30ish and floor it from there. The T-5R followed offering an additional 25bhp but Shed's budget could only stretch to a T-5. We even had to go for a saloon as the estates were stretching our £1000 limit, but look what we have found and tell me this wouldn't make the ideal daily smoker? It's a 1996 2.3 T-5 Auto, 150,000 miles full service history and 10 months MOT, specced to the hilt and certainly very presentable, best of all, it's £895. Each week I am amazed at what you can buy for under a grand, surely this is unbeatable at that price?

Available in sedan/saloon and station wagon/estate body styles, the Volvo 850 was notable as the first front-wheel drive vehicle from this Swedish manufacturer to be exported to North America. It is often considered the vehicle that gave Volvo its reputation as a high-end auto maker in North America due to the level of features available in this model that were not offered in previous models. At the time of its development, the 850 was regarded as one of the largest engineering endeavours in Sweden.

It was sold as a saloon (sedan) with an estate (wagon) model on sale from 1992 in Europe. The 850 was the first Volvo model in North America to feature front-wheel drive and an all-aluminium alloy 20-valve straight-five engine. The 850 was Volvo's top-seller in the mid-1990s. In markets outside the U.S., a 10-valve variant of the five-cylinder was popular for its lower cost and better fuel economy. All U.S. 850s received standard equipment such as dual front airbags, anti-lock braking system, head restraints and three-point seat belts for all passengers, power windows, door locks, and mirrors, cruise control, and dual zone climate control. Side torso airbags became a world first when introduced as an option for 1995. Some other options during the model run included features such as traction control, leather interior, power glass sunroof, power seats, heated seats, remote keyless entry, automatic climate control, and automatic transmission. The 850 saloon features an interior space of 2.80 cubic metres (99 cu ft). This is slightly more than the 2.78 cubic metres (98 cu ft) of the 2004 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, even though the car is reasonably compact on the outside. This space is achieved by mounting the in-line 5-cylinder engine transversely (from the left to the right of the car) under the hood. The road-holding and handling are vastly improved over the previous rear-wheel drive Volvos. The 850 Turbo estate is capable of top speeds in excess of 250 kilometres per hour (155 mph) when ungoverned. Production models of the estate and saloon are electronically governed to approximately 142 mph (229 km/h). In 1995, a limited-edition version, labeled T-5R, was sold worldwide. From 1996-1998, a high-end model, the R, was produced. It was based on the aforementioned T-5R. In 1996 a "Platinum" edition of the 850 Turbo was available. The exterior paint for these models came in a metallic pearl platinum-color and had special 16 inch alloy wheels. The interior was fitted with leather seats and burled walnut accents. Only 1,500 of these were imported for the U.S. market.[1] For the last model year (1996/1997), the 850 AWD (All Wheel Drive) model was introduced with a new 193 bhp (144 kW; 196 PS) low pressure turbo 2.4 litre engine (B5254T). In 1998, the model line was updated, and renamed the Volvo S70 (saloon) and Volvo V70 (estate). These vehicles were sold in the U.S. through the 2000 model year when there were still many 850's waiting to be sold. This allowed for an alternatively designed vehicle; the 2001 Volvo S60 and Volvo V70, during the 850's production hiatus. [edit] Rear suspension For the 850, Volvo created what it called "Delta-link semi-independent rear suspension". Volvo held a U.S. patent for rear axle bushings that compress under load, giving the Volvo 850 passive rear steering. The automobile also has a tight turning circle, 10.2 m (33.5 ft), and is considered very maneuverable. By comparison, later large Volvos had a 11.9 m (39.0 ft) turning circle. [edit] Motorsport Legendary Australian race driver Peter Brock drove a Volvo 850 touring car in a one-off Bathurst 12-hour endurance event in 1994, and drove the car in the 1996 Australian Super Touring Championship. Volvo joined forces with the famous and very successful Tom Walkinshaw Racing team (TWR) in 1994 to build an 850 Estate touring car to compete in the British Touring Car Championship (BTCC). Despite much criticism, the 850 Estate performed well, with a best placed finish of fifth, and a best qualifying spot of third. It was driven by Rickard Rydell and Jan Lammers and Volvo finished sixth in manufacturers' standings in the 1994 season. In 1995, TWR and Volvo built the 850 Saloon BTCC Racer and this won five races, qualified on pole position 13 times with Rickard Rydell and Tim Harvey and finished third in the championship. The switch was due mainly to the change in BTCC regulations which allowed aerodynamic aids (spoilers) which effectively ended any chance of the Estate being fully competitive. In 1996, an improved 850 saloon raced which boasted eight wins with Rickard Rydell and Kelvin Burt and finished third in the championship. Volvo were also prevalent with the 850 in championships across Europe and in Australia. [edit] T-5R In 1995, an exclusive limited edition race-bred model developed in part with Porsche named the T-5R was released. The vehicle was based upon the 850 Turbo with the B5234T5 engine with a special ECU known as the Bosch #628 ECU, that added 1.3 psi (0.1 bar)*** to turbocharger boost pressure, giving the engine an additional 18 horsepower (13 kW). The T-5R was capable of accelerating to 60 mph (97 km/h) in 5.7 seconds and completing a quarter-mile in 14.8 seconds. Top speed was electronically limited to 155 mph (249 km/h). Despite the boxy, understated appearance, the stock T-5R had a drag coefficient of 0.29. The vehicle came standard with Pirelli P-Zero tyres. The tyres provided a grip of 0.88 g. It was also one of the first commercial automobiles to utilize Alcantara suede in the interior (i.e. front seat inserts, rear seat inserts, armrests, console), an idea taken from the Porsche 911 Turbo at the time.[citation needed] The engine was co-developed with Porsche, as was the transmission and remaining powertrain components. Porsche also aided in designing some of the interior as well (i.e. Alcantara suede inserts). The automobile was noted[by whom?] for its lavish, yet ergonomic interior. All options found on competitors came standard in the Volvo.[citation needed] Only two options were available - the trunk-mounted Alpine 6-CD changer and the no-cost 16" wheels for a smoother, more comfortable ride and driveability in snow because of the all-weather tyres. The engine produced 240 hp (179 kW) and 221 lb·ft (300 N·m) of torque. The tranmission was a 4-speed automatic. (Volvo's 5-speed automatic transmission debuted 2 years later.) A 5-speed manual transmission was also offered in certain markets, such as Canada and, of course, Sweden. 5500 T-5Rs were produced worldwide, of which 2000 went to the US: The 1995 850 T-5R was limited in exterior paint color choices: cream yellow - 2119 worldwide including sedan and station wagon black - 2234 worldwide including sedan and station wagon olive green - 2477 worldwide including sedan and station wagon The rarest of all versions was a yellow sportwagon. It is believed that 185 came to the US, as more sedans were made than sportwagons. Maybe as few as 35 of the yellow sportwagons were sent to the US. At the time, the Volvo T-5R wagon was the fastest wagon ever made and held the title until Mercedes created an AMG E-Class wagon several years later.[citation needed] The T-5R sold out in short time, leading Volvo to repeat the T-5R the following year as the 850 R. However, presumably because of manufacturing reasons, the vehicle was notably slower and laborious through turns. The 850 T-5R was the quickest automatic transmission automobile at the time,[citation needed] until the 1997 Corvette automatic later topped the Volvo's 0-60 mph time. It was the quickest sedan available in terms of 0-60 mph and 1/4-mile times and top speed until the German automakers began the famous horsepower wars that continue to this day.[citation needed] The Volvo 850 T-5R was also noted for its safety features. It was the first automobile to have four airbags standard.[citation needed] The side airbags were installed in the seat cushions. German automakers would soon follow with their own side airbags as well, however, they were installed in the doors. The side airbags followed into all Volvos the following year as an option and became standard on the full-line a year after that, before other manufacturers began offering them as an option, in particular American and Japanese automakers. The same occurred with Volvo's introduction of daytime-running headlamps. The automobile also came with the first integrated child booster seat in the rear cabin.[citation needed] It was also the first sedan to have three-point seatbelts at all five seating positions. Volvo would later debut the side curtain airbag a couple of years later in the S80 and make those standard on the full line of autos before other manufacturers as well, though Lexus followed only months later. Also included in the 1995 T-5R package is a front bumper with a lip, rear spoiler, side skirts, polished aluminum door sills, special graphite leather like that of the Porsche 911 and Alcantara (the fire-retardant version of Toray Industries' Ultrasuede (tm)) seats in dark grey like that of the Porsche 911 Turbo and a black interior with deep walnut wood grain accents. Both yellow and black versions came with the same black interior as the only choice. The T-5R had an additional badge to the left of the "850" on the trunk, referred to as "The Motorsport badge". Aftermarket Motorsport badges are available and are often added by owners but only the 1995 T-5R came standard with that badge. The standard wheels were the titanium-gray 5-spoke 17×7 "Titan". 1995 was the only year that the a model was badged as a "T-5R". All subsequent models are badged with just the simple addition of "R" due to the one-off intended uniqueness of the T-5R. (e.g. 1995 850 T-5R, 1996 850 R, 2004 S60 R) See Volvo press release: https://www.customers.volvocars.com/owners/docs/1995/1995_releases/1995_release_6.html [edit] R models Volvo 850 R Wagon The 1996 and 1997 Volvo 850R also came as a Sport Wagon. In 5-door form, the turbocharged wagon can go 0-60 mph in 6.7 seconds and reach up to 153 mph (246 km/h).[citation needed] The 1996 and 1997 (the final year of the 850) R models were not as limited in production as the T-5R was. Some sources[who?] stated about 9,000 R produced. Flame red, black, anthracite grey, olive green metallic, turquoise and white were the only color choices. In the US market only Red, White and Black were available. Also, a new rear spoiler was introduced on sedans. The interior was now two-tone and designed to be more luxurious and appealing to Volvo's typical market,[clarification needed] but the layout changed — in 1995 the leather was in the center of the seats — later models had it on the outside bolster portion with the suede in the middle. The standard wheels used in these model years were the 17×7 "Volans". For 1996, Volvo introduced a new manual transmission outside the US market, called the M59, that came standard with a Torsen differential. Furthermore, the M59 cars were equipped with a slightly larger turbocharger, the TD04H-16T, and upgraded software enabling these cars to produce 250 hp (190 kW) versus 240 hp (180 kW) for the automatic transmission equipped cars. Torque was also significantly increased in the manual models from 300 N·m (220 lb·ft) to 350 N·m (260 lb·ft)..[citation needed] For the Italian market, the R was based on the 2.0 litre 850 Turbo. The transmission was the standard AW/50-42 used in all U.S. 850's, the M56H being available in other countries. [edit] Trims (U.S.) A 1993 Volvo 850 wagon (855) with the old bumper design and larger headlights. For the 1994 model year the bumpers were revised and the headlamps were modified to have separate low (dipped) and high beam bulbs. All manufacturer's suggested retail prices (MSRPs) are base prices only.

Many options (leather, sunroof, and more) were bundled into the Touring package. [edit] 1994 850 ($24,300 MSRP): 2.4 L I5, 168 hp (125 kW) @ 6300 rpm and 162 ft·lbf (220 N·m) @ 4500 rpm 850 Turbo ($29,985 MSRP): 2.3 L I5, 222 hp (166 kW) @ 5200 rpm and 221 ft·lbf (300 N·m) @ 2100 rpm The 1994 850 includes revised headlights, front valances, and front and rear bumpers. The GLT badge is dropped, although all the same equipment is available. The 222 hp (166 kW) Turbo sedan and wagon, as well as the normally aspirated 168 hp (125 kW) wagon, are new models this year. [edit] 1995 850 ($24,580 MSRP): 2.4 L I5, 168 hp (125 kW) @ 6300 rpm and 162 ft·lbf (220 N·m) @ 4500 rpm 850 GLT ($27,110 MSRP): 2.4 L I5, 168 hp (125 kW) @ 6300 rpm and 162 ft·lbf (220 N·m) @ 4500 rpm 850 Turbo ($31,045 MSRP): 2.3 L I5, 222 hp (166 kW) @ 5200 rpm and 221 ft·lbf (300 N·m) @ 2100 rpm 850 T-5R ($35,545 MSRP): 2.3 L I5, 240 hp (179 kW) @ 5600 rpm and 221 ft·lbf (300 N·m) @ 2100 rpm The GLT badge returned for the 1995 model year, so there were now sedan and wagon versions of the 850, 850 GLT, 850 Turbo, and 850 T-5R. The T-5R was the new high performance model, with more power stemming from ECU tuning, and special suspension, trim and wheels. In addition to the introduction of the T-5R, changes included new tail-lights for sedans, optional side airbags for all variants, new interior switch-gear design and several other detail changes. [edit] 1996 850 ($26,125 MSRP): 2.4 L I5, 168 hp (125 kW) @ 6300 rpm and 162 ft·lbf (220 N·m) @ 4700 rpm 850 GLT ($29,200 MSRP): 2.4 L I5, 168 hp (125 kW) @ 6300 rpm and 162 ft·lbf (220 N·m) @ 4500 rpm 850 Turbo ($32,650 MSRP): 2.3 L I5, 222 hp (166 kW) @ 5200 rpm and 221 ft·lbf (300 N·m) @ 2100 rpm 850 R ($37,925 MSRP): 2.3 L I5, 240 hp (179 kW) @ 5600 rpm and 221 ft·lbf (300 N·m) @ 2100 rpm Changes this year include a revised power door lock system, new exterior colors, and full OBD-II compliance. The T-5R high performance version became the R in 1996, but the performance differences remained relatively the same. The United Kingdom received 2.5 10v and 2.5 20v versions, which were unavailable in the U.S. and Canada, but made their way to Russia and Switzerland. 1997 Volvo 850 in Sweden [edit] 1997 850 ($26,710 MSRP): 2.4 L I5, 168 hp (125 kW) @ 6300 rpm and 162 ft·lbf (220 N·m) @ 4500 rpm 850 GLT ($31,835 MSRP): 2.4 L I5, 190 hp (142 kW) @ 5100 rpm and 199 ft·lbf (270 N·m) at 1600 rpm 850 T-5 ($34,500 MSRP): 2.3 L I5, 222 hp (166 kW) @ 5200 rpm and 221 ft·lbf (300 N·m) @ 2100 rpm 850 R ($38,685 MSRP): 2.3 L I5, 240 hp (179 kW) @ 5600 rpm and 221 ft·lbf (300 N·m) @ 2100 rpm For 1997, the 850's final year, all GLT models were increased to 190 hp (142 kW) by pairing a low-pressure turbocharger with the 2.4 L engine. The 850 Turbo model was thence called the 850 T-5, as it always had been in the UK. The 1997 model year was short, as the substantially similar (virtually identical except for superficial styling changes) Volvo S70 sedan and Volvo V70 wagon were introduced during the first half of 1997 shortly before Ford Motor Co. took over Volvo in 1998.

Speaking to SM, senior vice‑president purchasing, Bernt Ejbyfeldt, said: “There are constraints on the market – we have had problems getting enough components to our assembly plants.” The issue was affecting the number of cars the manufacturer could get to market as demand increased following the credit crunch. “There is a problem because many suppliers did not believe that turnover would increase so rapidly, so there is a constraint on capacity. We could deliver many more cars if we got enough components from our suppliers,” he said. “During the financial crisis they tried to decrease capacity and also ensure they could still run their business. There is also a constraint on cash for a lot of suppliers. When they saw the volume would come back they did not have the money to invest in more capacity.” Although Volvo Cars had written to suppliers to get assurances they could meet increased demand, some still struggled, he said. “We sent a letter to critical suppliers to ask them if they could deliver coming volume. Even though we received a positive response, a lot of suppliers had problems because [they] did not believe what we requested would happen. I don’t think anyone believed the increase could happen so rapidly.” Volvo is not the only car manufacturer to be hit with supply problems. In July, Nissan was forced to close three factories in Japan for three days because of a shortage of key electronic components. This year has seen car sales rocket, compared with 2009, when some manufacturers mothballed production. In March, sales had increased by 27 per cent in the UK compared with the same month a year earlier, according to the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders. However, Stewart Pedder, managing director of Supplier Business, part of research firm HIS, said many vendors had been reluctant to increase supply because they were hampered by poor credit availability. “Suppliers reduced capacity during the crisis, have lowered break-even volumes and many are reluctant – or perhaps too prudent – to reinstate capacity just yet,” he said. “This will remain an issue throughout 2011.” Configure your Portal Restore page default settings Restore page default settings Main (left)Edit Configuration Title UpdateCancel WHITE PAPER: "The Future of Optimisation" Click here to download this white paper WHITE PAPER:"Creating a best-in class NHS procurement organisation" Click here to download this white paper Treasury Christmas tree presents procurement nightmare The tale of the Treasury’s rather tortured Christmas tree purchase is reported in a number of newspapers this morning, including the Daily Telegraph, the Daily Mail and the Guardian. 10 December 2010 More blog posts South Africa buyers see stronger growth The South Africa Kagiso PMI bounced back into positive territory in November, the survey of buyers showed.
