I thought you all might find this interesting. Since one of the members of Swedespeed has been searching for a 1995 Yellow 850 T5-R wagon, I actually wrote to Volvo Cars North America asking them how one might find such a rare car. This is exactly what they wrote back to me:

quote:

Dear Drew,

This is a pretty rare Volvo but you may be able to find one on the internet. Try sweedspeed.com. Cars are also listed for sale in the Volvo Club of America magazine. Their phone/fax number is 607-639-2279. Good luck in your search.

Drive Safely,

Pretty cool huh?

Wow Drew, that's pretty cool. We have been working with Volvo, and they've been very receptive to us. However, I must say that this is a very nice compliment indeed.

I should probably just keep quiet, but did anybody notice that they sent you to a Saab site? (sweedspeed.com) I'm sure it's just a typo because I've seen "Sweden" spelled "Sweeden" quite a few times. Still, that's pretty cool.

That's pretty funny. I hadn't even noticed. Funny that they'd spell it wrong.

Murphy's law I guess.

Hey man, good luck with picking it up tomorrow. I'm sorry I can't meet up with you, but hopefully we can compare Rs at a get together in the future. Are you considering coming down for the Carlisle Import Auto Show in May?

yellowT5R,

Unfortunately, I did not get a chance to ask them how many yellow wagons made it to the US. Is the 850R that you are getting red? Whatever color it is, you will be getting an awesome SuperWagon!

i believe that less than 300 yellow wagons made it into the US.

yellowT5Rwagon,

So, are you changing your name now since you have a white T5-R wagon?

Looking forward to seeing your new wagon!
