Volvo 850 TDi 4,000 mile road trip review

A look at our Volvo 850 after a 4,000 mile European tour, and some anecdotes and notes on owning this fantastic long distance wagon.

Here’s the full list of videos on my Volvo 850 Tdi, purchased for just £250…! We replaced out 940 Turbo with this car as our main family car, and it has been a labour of love. I really adore this car.#Volvo #Volvo850 #Restoration #CarBuild #ClassicCars
