Volvo 480 Club Europe

Esta! Great to finally put a face to a name! Usually all I see of you is the Lula passing me at mach 10! It was a pleasure meeting a 480 nutter, could have been there all day! The show has been great, really worked wonders for not only Volvo Enthusiasts, but also the 480 club with the banner in my b...

Cerby!

Got to have a go at this cheap upgrade. Will it work on a 2.0? Be really interested if you have any piccys!

Perhaps we could organise a trip to a rolling road to see the difference in performance.

TTFN

Hi James, Really interested in the car fella, and I have a track history of restoring 480's to former (and better) glory. My GT and Turbo are absolute minters, their both award winners in 3 different clubs, regulars at the shows, classic car and Volvo shows etc. Now I have done 2 I've got the itch t...

Well done mucker! if there is one thing about 480's, the spanners don't get chance to get rusty!

I struggled to catch up with the gobstopper dude! But got there in the end Pearson, aka The DADDY!

@ Esta, Yep that kitty was beautiful. I still haven't got rid of my Jag Fetish. A mint series 3 XJ6, XJ40 or XJS is really on the cards over the next couple of years.

The GT can get even less use then!

Well has to be said peeps, what a cracking show, nice putting some names to faces. Seeing some awesome metal, and a rather nice pint of Guinness! Still I am thinking of adding to the fleet, anyone notice the black Janspeed turbo XJ40? I caught up with the owner and he plans to restore not sell, d'oh...

Dude,

if you want a real Turbo Badge, I'll bring one to Wythall with me next Tuesday if it's any good to you?

What Ho Chelle!

I am marvellous thankyou dear. Me lead the Pearson astray? Never!

Couldn't if I wanted to, he see's a chav mobile cruising up screams target then delivers a clice of the Richmod pie!

Does he behave when he's at home?

Pearson couldn't resist it, a lovely open dual carriageway before us, just out for a pootle listening to the quite eshaust. Mr Saxo turns up with a dustbin for an exhaust, no need for back pressure then!, and the lpg gets switched off, petrol cuts in then.............cry havoc and let slip the dogs ...

Clean & very tidy red GT, with ice blue sidelights (Incidentally Warwickshire traffic police love to give fixed penalties for those!).

I was in the Purple S40, my donkey for work, coming out of the village.

If it was you Esta, the GT is an absolute credit to you!

D1 is a 16 seater minibus basically, but not used for Hire or Reward!

Got one for sale, make me an offer and we'll talk!

Biggest?? Can't beat you Lee! Scania 500 with 40ft of Montracon Finest.

But Most Expensive? Ascari KZR1 List price, albeit inclusive of life time membership of the Ascari Race resort, £330,000!

Any other takers?

Polish? you don't need polish, well not strictly true, but it does take a full weekend. It took that long to get the paint on the GT and the Turbo to be in the sort of condition it's in now. Back breaking, absolutley, but now all either car ever needs is 2 top up waxes a year and I have to clean it ...

Esta, I have a confession to make! I only live 3 miles from the NEC, and I haven't even seen my GT for 3 weeks! I got my dates mixed up and got a phone call off the Volvo Club to take my car the day before the show. Luckily I have a very, very understanding Girlfriend who Cleaned up my baby and took...

Good man Dan! Someone else who has an endless supply of all the 480 options brochures then?? I thought I was the only one, and I was going to get away with it! :lol: Adam, True, however the cause of the V5C cock up? Dealers supplying the wrong information, we at the Department for Transport do not m...

Well this should get some more responses! ;) The celebration is indeed the last of the 480 line! however it had common as muck cetus wheels! The GT? ah ha now there is a true limited edition. Production run of only 250, only avalible in 2 colours, flame red and green. Also the GT come with 15" VESA ...

That's My Baby! better photo, than I got on the day!

It's not as nice as you think, and it's not really a genuine one. All the panels and the targa bar are from a breakers in Holland designated to detroy all of Volvo's design prototypes and studies. CP Motors managed to get all the components and chopped a Paris blue down and installed all of what you...
