Volvo V70 R AWD | 2.3 Turbo | 250 HP | 5-Speed Manual | LHD | 1998* The price is a subject of slight negotiations.Wichtig! Das Fahrzeug steht in Polen (PL) – in Warschau. Polnische Zulassung.An exceptionally rare, full specification — with no equivalent currently offered in EuropeVery special — and much-loved — 1998 Volvo V70 R AWD, representing one of the most sought-after configurations of the first-generation R:2.3 Turbo, 250 HP, factory AWD and the original 5-speed manual gearboxsoft leather & alcantara interior (including alcantara steeringwheel)electric sunroofthe original factory Volvo RTI navigation system.There's no another V70 R in Europe combining this specification and this level of condition.••The car currently has overall 348,500 km, however this kind of classic performance cars are usually (if not in all cases) in worse condition with half of this milage, when not preserved and serviced with care. The level of how much was invested in the past few years in current condition, is more than milage when the investment is still to be made. This one is a very special one in my (and any future) garage - it has a milage of around 40,000 km since the major mechanical work and comprehensive underbody preservation were carried out.I have owned the car since May 2017. Throughout that time it has been systematically and comprehensively maintained through Volvo servicing, using genuine Volvo parts.It has always been treated as an enthusiast's and additional analog-beauty car rather than simply as everyday transportation.This is a very special R — looked after over the years with the care and attention reserved for a collector's car.Factory specificationVolvo V70 R AWDModel year 1998B5234T4 2.3 Turbo250 HP / 184 kW350 Nm5-speed manual gearboxFactory AWDEuropean LHD specificationABS, SIPS, front airbags and side (!) airbagsFour-wheel disc brakesHydraulic power steeringOriginal R-specification suspensionNew genuine Volvo self-levelling Nivomat rear dampers, sourced from SwedenElectrically operated original pop-up Volvo RTI navigation display integrated into the dashboardElectric tilt&slide sunroofOriginal 17-inch Volvo alloy wheelsVIN: YV1LW5003W2471946The LW5003 variant code identifies the V70 R AWD manual configuration.

Finding the correct pieces took two years.Throughout the work, the objective was to preserve or recreate the details so that the car retains the appearance of a proper factory-specification V70 R, rather than looking like a modified V70.Mechanical condition & historyThe V70 R has been systematically maintained through Volvo servicing for many years, with particular attention paid to retaining its original specification.The car has undergone an extensive range of work, including:Engine and ancillary componentsDrivetrainSuspensionBraking systemComplete exhaust systemCooling system componentsSteering system componentsSuspension componentsInteriorBodyworkComprehensive underbody preservation and protectionGenuine Volvo parts were used wherever they were available.This is therefore not a project car waiting to be restored.At the same time, a first-generation V70 R is a genuine performance car from the 1990s and, as such, will always be an ongoing enthusiast's project: it deserves proper care, regular maintenance and ideally a heated, dry garage.The result is a car that has been consistently brought to and maintained in very good mechanical and usable condition by its owner.Specification at a glance:Volvo V70 R AWD | 19982.3 Turbo B5234T4250 HP / 184 kW 350 Nm5-speed manualAWD / 4WDLHD~348,500 kmRefurbished leather & Alcantara interiorElectric sunroofOriginal electrically operated pop-up Volvo RTI navigationOriginal 17-inch Volvo alloy wheelsNew genuine Volvo rear Nivomat dampersComplete new stainless-steel exhaust with twin tailpipesComprehensively refurbished and protected underbodyExtensive work carried out using genuine Volvo parts~40,000 km since the major mechanical and preservation workA car for someone who is specifically looking for this particular V70 R configuration, appreciates originality and provenance, and understands the appeal of a properly maintained square Volvo from the 1990s.A very rare combination of specification, character and history.The one to be taken care of dearly :)See you.
