The Appeal
The 850 was undoubtedly one of Volvo's greatest front-wheel-drive platforms. A rock-solid chassis that could handle serious power in its various high-performance applications, as well as boasting pioneering safety features like side impact protection, this was old-school Volvo at its very best.
Here we have a 1997 850 SE, which stands out for its wonderful provenance, having been owned by the same careful lady owner since new when purchased from the Knight's main Volvo dealer in London. With over 25 years of meticulous maintenance evidenced by comprehensive service records, this 850 SE offers the opportunity to acquire a well-preserved example that has been cherished rather than abused, unlike many T5 variants on the market today.
