SUMMARY

Finding a Volvo T5‑R this well preserved, with mileage this low, is incredibly rare. From the very first look, it’s clear the car has always been owned by true enthusiasts who spared no expense. That care is immediately noticeable in the way it feels and drives.

As an admire I bought this car in 2023 and been drive it ever since occasionally.

This Volvo was purchased from PG Auto’s B.V., a well‑known Volvo specialist in the Netherlands. They acquired it from a dedicated Volvo dealer who collected rare models such as the T5‑R and kept them on display in the showroom. That history explains the exceptionally low mileage on this particular car.
The original family‑run dealership closed after the passing of its key figure, and the collection was auctioned off. PG Auto’s successfully bid on the cars, which is how this T5‑R came into their hands.
