Estate Volvo 850 touring car restored to period specification
One of the rare Tom Walkinshaw Racing-built Volvo 850 Estate cars used in the 1994 British Touring Car Championship is currently being rebuilt by Jason Minshaw.
Minshaw found the car in Holland, where it had been running as a saloon. He is now taking it back to period specification but does not plan to race it due to a lack of spares.
“I will run it in demonstrations,” said Minshaw. “I’d like to have it as a rolling shell to be on display at the Silverstone Classic.”
Chassis 3 is one of three cars built for the car’s only season in 1994, when the car was raced exclusively in the BTCC by Rickard Rydell and Jan Lammers to 14th and 15th in the points.
Gregor Peterson in Sweden has chassis 1 and chassis 2 is in a museum in Gothenburg.
