Description
A rare opportunity to own a Volvo V70R P2 in the highly desirable combination of Flash Green metallic, Atacama leather interior and the six-speed M66 manual gearbox.
This is a genuine 2004 V70R featuring the 2. 5-litre turbocharged five-cylinder engine, AWD and Volvo's 4C adaptive suspension.
The car has covered approximately 370, 000 km (230, 000 miles) and is currently located in Hammarstrand, Sweden. Originally from the Swedish island of Gotland, it has benefited from a favourable climate and is completely rust-free. I am the fourth owner, the last owned owned it for nearly 18 years.
I purchased the car in August 2025 and have since invested considerable time and money in maintenance and preventative servicing.
Service history and maintenance
The car comes with a full service history. The timing belt was replaced approximately six years and 60, 000 km ago. The PCV system was serviced by the previous owner.
Approximately 1, 000 km ago, the following work was carried out:
New Brembo brake discs, front and rear
New fuel filter
Complete AWD service: Haldex, angle gear, M66 gearbox and rear differential
New genuine Volvo spark plugs and Bosch ignition coils
New steering stops
New thermostat and coolant
New brake fluid
New air filter
New alternator and battery
New turbo control valve (TCV)
New cabin blower motor
Receipts for the recent maintenance are available.
The original clutch is still fitted, has been checked and is considered to be in good condition. It operates and feels as it should.
Condition
Considering its age and mileage, the car presents very well.
The completely rust-free bodywork is particularly noteworthy for a 22-year-old Swedish car.
The Atacama leather interior is in very good condition for its age and mileage.
The front and rear bumpers have some paint damage. I had planned to have them repainted in the future. Apart from this, the exterior is in good overall condition.
The suspension is still original and may show some age-related wear. The 4C adaptive suspension is fully operational in all three modes.
There are no known mechanical issues or fault codes. Climate control works correctly.

Reason for sale
I am planning to move abroad, which is the reason for selling.
I am in no hurry and would ideally like to see this particular V70R go to an enthusiast who appreciates what makes these cars special.
This is not a low-mileage museum piece, but an increasingly rare specification with excellent provenance, completely rust-free bodywork and substantial recent maintenance.
The P2 V70R has always been one of my favourite modern Volvos. It combines the practicality of a proper estate car with a turbocharged five-cylinder engine, AWD and a genuinely special performance character.
When I found this particular example, it was the specification that convinced me. Flash Green metallic, the beautiful Atacama leather interior and the six-speed M66 manual gearbox make for a combination that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. It is exactly the kind of specification that makes the P2 R special.
What I particularly love about this car is its character. The distinctive five-cylinder soundtrack, the manual gearbox and the way the 4C suspension transforms the driving experience make it feel like something from a different era of Volvo. It is a car that manages to be both a comfortable long-distance cruiser and a genuinely entertaining driver's car.
Another aspect that makes this example special is its history. Originally from Gotland, it has remarkably well-preserved, completely rust-free bodywork despite being over 20 years old and having covered 370, 000 km.
I bought this car because I wanted to experience one of Volvo's most iconic performance estates, and this particular colour and interior combination was simply too good to pass up.
My favourite thing is undoubtedly the overall combination: the unmistakable Flash Green exterior, the warm Atacama interior and the manual five-cylinder driving experience. It is a car with personality, and one that stands out even among other V70Rs.
I hope its next owner will enjoy it as much as I have.
