The first Viking raiding groups and flat-pack furniture were seen in Sweden. Bring A Trailer, a Hearst Autos magazine similar to Car and Driver picked a picture that shows what both are about. This tasty Swedish treat is a functional Volvo wagon with a noseful of turbocharged Ragnarok under the hood.

In the 1980s, the Boxy 240 was the first car to have a turbocharger. By the time this V70R came out, the Swedes had learned to perform quietly well. This 2004 model doesn’t have the big grilles and cannon-sized exhaust pipes standard on German sports cars. This makes it look noble and quiet from the outside.

The “R” badge and 17-inch five-spoke wheels are a wink and a nod to the elite. Aside from that, it’s a standard way for a labradoodle to get around.

Get a race helmet for the dog right away. The V70R’s 2.5-liter inline-five engine made 300 horsepower, 295 lb-ft of torque, and a rippling roar usually only heard from Audi race cars. Because power goes to all four wheels, the V70R is stable when turning and doesn’t care about bad weather. The six-speed manual gearbox with that space ball shifter is much better.

Volvo’s image has changed to be more friendly and greener, and the company now makes a lot of electric vehicles (EVs). When this version of the V70R was made, it had only been a few years since a Volvo station wagon raced in the British Touring Car series. It’s as fast as anything from BMW M or Mercedes AMG, but it doesn’t make a big deal out of it.

Even though he has driven 139,000 kilometres, this fast Swedish man should still have much life left in him. IPD, which specialises in getting the most out of Volvos, made the improved brakes and cat-back exhaust. Even though we like the bright blue colour of the inside, a few small things need to be fixed, like the leather seats.

Then get comfortable, use that six-speed manual gear to control your 300 horsepower, and ride to Valhalla with your dog Spot. The end date for this sale with no reserve is June 8.
