Allocated to Jan Lammers, this 850 Estate was raced throughout the 1994 British Touring Car Championship with #14. Lammers' best result in this car was a fifth in the second race at Brands Hatch. For the 1995 season, it was loaned to Volvo Australia, who fielded the car for local racer Tony Scott. He started with a pair of fourth place finishes but did not manage to better that until late in the year when he finished third at Eastern Creek. The car was repatriated to Sweden where it was restored by Johnny Haraldsson, who ran Volvo's Swedish Touring Car Championship effort during the second half of the 1990s. Following the restoration, it was shaken down by Rickard Rydell, which may explain why it is in the #15 livery today. Chassis 001 is today owned by another Swedish Volvo enthusiast, who used to race 240 Turbos back in the 1980s.
