Highlights
- Extremely low mileage for a Volvo
- Well maintained and looked after
- Believed to be one of only two examples left
The Appeal
When the first generation S80 launched in 1998 it was the safest car on the road, having numerous occupancy safety features it is no wonder why people love these cars so dearly. This example has been well cared for throughout its life, being used on rare occasions and ever displayed at car shows. It is believed that this is one of only two S80’s left with the naturally aspirated 2.9l inline-six.
A motorway mile muncher it is extremely comfortable and ready for any task you may want to throw its way.
The History and Paperwork
- This car started its journey just over 18 years ago, first registered in April of 2004
- Looking at the service history it lived in Huddersfield from 2004 to around about 2008 where it was serviced annually at Harratts of Huddersfield
- Upon studying the service book, you can see that it has been cared for properly, with a service pretty much every year regardless of the miles completed
- Quite a few of the old MOT certificates have been kept neatly in the cars history folder
- There are a couple of invoices from 2014 & 2015 that evidence the cambelt being changed, with a sticker under the bonnet that proves this further
- The current owner has had this example since 2020 and they have looked after it well, keeping it totally original and low mileage.
- Often displayed at shows there is a lovely plaque that describes this car further, with the headline figure being that it was £35,000 when new, dangerously close to a price of a new Range Rover of the day
- The all-important V5 is present making a change of ownership nice and swift
- Along with the service book, there are quite a few Volvo original handbooks
- This is your chance to add to the car's history, whatever you may wish to do this Volvo will do it with class and style
Please note the current private reg plate "E9 PRP" is not included in the sale. The car will be sold with the number plate LL04 YLV.
The Interior
- Fitted with a rather expensive factory Sat-Nav system
- A raft of interior safety features
- Dolby Pro-Logic sound system
The interior of this S80 is the place to be, with leather armchair like seats and lots of noughties tech it is incredibly easy to live with. You can also have the peace of mind that the interior of the S80 is possibly one of the safest places to sit on the roads today.
Due to the car covering so few miles throughout its 18-year life it is no surprise that the interior is in rather wonderful condition, with some incredibly minor wear to the driver’s seat bolster. But the cream leather on all of the seats have no rips or tears to the material. These seats are very comfortable, and you will never get tired of sitting in them.
With this car's price tag, you would be correct in thinking that it comes with some pretty cool tech, and you would be correct. There are a lot of steering wheel controls to make sure you never have to take your eyes off the road when driving. Along with those steering wheel controls comes a sat-nav that rises from the dashboard showing the location of the car accurately, it also comes with two remotes in the armrest that control the functions. The sunroof also works as it should, letting in a lot more natural light into the cabin making it feel ever bigger.
Overall, the interior condition of the rare Volvo could be classed as very good, with little to no signs of wear and tear it is like it was the day it left the factory. You will have one great car to travel in.
The Exterior
- In rather good visual condition
- All four alloys are in great condition
- Sleek and simple Scandinavian design
The first generation of the S80 was probably the best looking, with its uncharacteristic sleek and aerodynamic lines it is a lovely piece of Swedish minimalistic design. Finished in a lovely metallic grey it is a true stunner of a car.
When looking at the paintwork it is probable that it was either kept in a garage or under a cover like the current owner has done, this is because it looks so good. With one minor scuff on the front clip between the headlights and one on the boot, however, the latter is hidden when the boot is closed. To match the brilliant paintwork all of the alloys are in great condition too, the low mileage has probably saved them from any horrible encounters with curbs.
The most intriguing part of the exterior is the little badge on the boot, the one that denotes it as a 2.9l. This makes it incredibly rare in comparison to other S80’s.
This is truly one stunner of a vehicle, with its simple lines and great condition even this humble Volvo can turn a head or two.
The Mechanics
- Rare 2.9 naturally aspirated engine
- Smooth automatic gearbox
- A real cruiser of a car
Volvos are world-renowned for their reliability with one P1800 hitting not just 1 million miles, but 3! So, with this S80 being presented with a smidge over 30,000 miles it is barely run in. With its regular servicing throughout its life, it is no wonder why it feels so comfortable on the road.
The transversely mounted straight-six engine is able to produce 200bhp making it no slouch out on the road, making it more than able to keep up with modern traffic. All of this power is transmitted through a lovely automatic gearbox which switches gears lovely and makes this car nice and easy to live with on a day-to-day basis.
With its low miles and regular servicing, this car should do you well throughout your ownership. A soft and comfortable ride it will be the perfect companion for any trip that you may wish to take it.
Summary
As the handbook says, A Volvo is for life, this Volvo definitely will enhance your life. With the intrinsic rarity of this particular model and low mileage, you are unlikely to find another car like it no matter how long you search.
The current and previous owners have looked after this car well, it is now time to pass the baton onto you. Look after it and it will look after you.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
