<BLOCKQUOTE><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><HR>Originally posted by InDy:<BR><B>Philippe,<P>You will have an extremely hard time trying to find an 850R with a manual transmission in the United States. The 850R and 850 T5-R with a manual transmission never legally made it to North America.<P>Although, these cars did come to Canada with 250hp and a manual tranmission. There was someone on Ebay recently who was selling a red 850R with a manual transmission and I think that it might have come from Canada. I am not sure what eventually happened to that car though.<P>If you must have a Volvo and a manual transmission, the S70 T5 would be a good way to go in my opinion. A manual shouldn't be too hard to find, plus they can be chipped and tuned just like an 850R.<P>My 02. cents... <IMG SRC="http://www.swedespeed.com/ubb/smile.gif"><P>-Drew</B><HR></BLOCKQUOTE><P><BR>Canada is in North America! <IMG SRC="http://www.swedespeed.com/ubb/wink.gif"><BR><P>
