[Part-out] 1997 V70 T5 manual wagon

you have my list :)

No alcantara on the seats?

Ex850R;26086 wroteNo alcantara on the seats?

I think only the R has those, there is an R for sale at Berry Motor Group that has them, if I buy a V70 and they decide to wreck that R I will most likely swap the seats!

Australian spec T5s had leather and alcantara seats as well as the leather door inserts.

In the UK our T5s would have been a 'T5 SE'
We had only a single T5 variation in trim/spec.

So some possibilities here are -
* This is a T, not a T5, but has roof spoiler, perfos, and driving lights fitted.
* UK import
* Swapped at some point (unlikely)
* Or some sort of weird variation.

Could be really early in the run? RMS have it as a 97.

Not a UK import, speedo is metric only.... might have come from Ireland though.... but they tended to de-badge all T5's so they didn't get stolen...

Nah , my T5 was 97 and had em.

I dont think so. every S70 and V70 T5 I've ever seen was alcantara/leather seats and leather door inserts.
My 1997 S70T5 was the same.

Ah, good point.
By now the possibility of it being messed with is probably fairly high,
Maybe a Japanese import?

Same.

JeremyK;26115 wroteMaybe the original owner just asked for full leather?

Maybe. Dunno why you would though.
I like these little exceptions and variations to all other things that you see around.

Doesnt look like it has sunroof either?

My V70T5 doesnt have a sunroof - this is excellent, all the other cars I'd been looking at did.

My 1995 850T5 had a sunroof but, interestingly, it was fitted post delivery to Australia, but before the car was first sold.

I have a 99 T5 sitting in my yard with all leather
