Some Pictures of my Volvo 855 R

In the UK there are not many white R's, 3 in total 2 station wagons and one saloon. I am very fortunate to have the only saloon and one of the only 2 855's, my 855 R pictured below has done 234k miles and still going very strong.

I have 302 mm front grooved discs, Volvo front spring strut brace, horns relocated, poly top engine mount and front lower poly bushes. Apart from that the R is standard, in the UK the 850 R came as a manual (stick shift) and auto transmission, the manual had 250 small ponies under the hood with the auto 10 bhp less (240 bhp)

Oh my god you have two of these magnificant machines! They both look to be in excellent condition. My old '96 GLEO with about 280,000 miles has been ridden hard and put away wet too many times (although it still runs well) is quite sad compared to your beauties. Have you redone the interior of of the wagon? The seats appear to be in new condition. The European headlight lens are much better looking then the North American lens. You say that you have replaced both the front and rear bumpers, were they damaged? 5 Stars
