No less that 21 services detailed in the original service booklet and as the car has got older the servicing has been in depth and preventative (see images). Every mot right back to the very first one in 1998 with a total of 20 separate mot certificates all neatly arranged in a presentation folder amongst many historic invoices dating all the way back. The cambelt was changed at 111k, new oil just put in - Shell Helix ultra oil being used and the engine flushed routinely. The mileage on the odometer is totally irrelevant such is the wonderfully preserved condition. Performance Tuning - " You wont find another like this anywhere" Aside the pristine condition this is not only an exclusive T5 its a Volvo that I am very excited about. Professional upgrading has transformed an already quick saloon into a genuine modern day performance road car with no compromise to reliability or comfort, it is they say a stone cold sleeper. Rica ECU 280 bhp upgrade with the fuelling system upgraded with Big White injectors to be fully compatible with the remap taking the power beyond the R version by a considerable margin, when called upon this car would levae the R for dead. This is all certificated with letter of recommendation for reference and designed to run on 98 Ron fuel. 40 mm lowering springs recently refreshed, and a wonderful sounding Ripspeed stainless steel exhaust system with a mid sports note to bring the fabulous 5 cylinder burble to the fore. 17 " Titan alloys finish the exterior. The new coil springs provide a wonderful ride with no harsh feel. The manual gearbox is a must, the automatic blunts the power, chalk and cheese. What a car, the mid range power is truly remarkable, it blasts past other road users, the exhaust note is evocative unleashing that 5 pot burble the Ripseed is a truly great exhaust system. Modern Classic Rising A car that is deemed collectible regardless of age, the T5 was simply a car that changed Volvo forever, it marked a turning point for the brand and when the T5 debuted it was a marvel, quickly being embraced by the police for its outright speed and indestructible longevity. As an ownership proposition these cars are now totally depreciation proof and are in truth rising in value due to virtual zero availability, quite simply there are none for sale at time of writing making this cosseted example even more obscure. The build quality is legendary, characterful drive and sound and unmistakable 90s looks. This is a guaranteed future classic and a quick search of classifieds reveal no other car such as this available on the market with how many left suggesting that as few as maybe 20 T-5 manuals are left in existence.
