1995 Volvo 850T-5R Estate
Heico-performance enhancements with supporting history

M.O.T. – May 2026

Odometer – 202,102

Presented in gleaming black and sitting purposefully on its five-spoke alloy wheels, this 1995 example represents one of the most iconic fast estates of the 1990s. The muscular lines, deep front spoiler and subtle badging give it the unmistakable presence associated with the high-performance derivative, while the interior retains its characteristic blend of durability, comfort and understated sporting intent. Shown in the accompanying photographs, the cabin presents with black leather upholstery, heated front seats and the model’s familiar, solidly engineered switchgear.

The vendor informs us the motor car is offered with Registration M805 DBX, displaying 202,102 miles at the time of cataloguing, and is accompanied by an M.O.T. valid until May 2026. Documentation includes its V5C, keys and a series of invoices illustrating continued expenditure, with recent work evidenced in the paperwork photographed. The car also carries Heico badging to the tailgate, suggesting period enhancement by the respected Volvo tuning specialist. The interior shows the typical patina of use but remains complete, with the dashboard, gauges and factory equipment present.

Introduced to celebrate the manufacturer’s involvement in high-profile touring car competition, the derivative quickly became renowned for its combination of practicality and serious performance. Powered by a turbocharged five-cylinder engine and equipped with uprated suspension and unique trim details, it offered a distinctive blend of estate-car utility and genuine sporting capability. Limited numbers and period motorsport associations have since secured its place among the most collectible performance Volvos.
