AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Volvo V70 R with 250 HP, manual transmission, in perfect condition.

As a replacement for the popular Volvo 850 T5 R, Volvo introduced in May 1997 the new V70 R models. They came equipped with a special Alcantara/leather upholstery with a diamond pattern on the seats, which in this unit is in perfect condition given its low mileage. Likewise, as differentiating elements from the rest of the range, they feature blue-colored dashboard instrument dials, and a larger front air intake for a redesigned intercooler, since a bigger turbo was added to increase power to 250 hp and a maximum torque of 35 Nm. As a bonus, this unit has a five-speed manual gearbox, and they also come standard with a viscous limited-slip differential and a redesigned suspension with a lower ride height and a firmer tuning.

History

This unit was originally sold in Spain and still retains its original Madrid license plate from 1997. It was initially used regularly by its owners, but it ended up parked in a garage for many years with little movement. In 2019 it was purchased by its current owner, who carried out a complete overhaul and subsequently fitted new tires. Since then it has covered barely 3,000 kilometers.

Mechanics

In perfect condition, the B5234T4 engine which belongs to the V70 R AWD series. This is a 2.3 L (2319 cc) inline-five engine. It has a bore of 81 mm (3.2 in) and a stroke of 90 mm (3.5 in) with a compression ratio of 8.5:1. It is turbocharged and features a larger intercooler, producing 250 CV (184 kW; 247 hp) at 6000 rpm and a torque of 350 N⋅m (260 lb⋅ft) at 2400–5000 rpm. It is equipped with a Bosch Motronic 4.3 engine management system and comes standard with a TD04HL-18T turbo.

bodywork

In completely original condition, in a nice silver color. It is in perfect condition, with no signs of rust or corrosion and does not require any kind of treatment or painting.

Interior

In original condition, with original upholstery exclusive to this series in a beautiful dark color, blending Alcantara and leather fabrics with its handsome diamond pattern, with the interior in perfect condition.

The car runs perfectly, the tires were replaced seven years ago, but since then it has hardly been driven, the vehicle being parked most of the time in the garage. Therefore, with the timing belt replacement that was carried out, along with oils and filters, the car can operate under its own power to go anywhere. The engine runs perfectly, the gearbox has the correct, firm, and precise feel. There are no fluid leaks of any kind. It starts perfectly when cold and when hot. The electrical system works correctly and the power windows, radio, and air conditioning work without problems.

Pickup

Offers do not include transportation or export, unless otherwise indicated. The car is located in Madrid, Spain. Please carefully review the photos that are part of the vehicle description.

It is advisable to view the vehicle before bidding to avoid later disappointments. To arrange a viewing appointment, please contact Catawiki.
