Hey There!

Thanks I appreciate it.

Sadly I'm going to be running from England to NI a lot now in between hospital visits but I sure can try!

Very best wishes

Anthony :-)

Re: NO Headlamp flash with lamps retracted! Help :-)

Hey David! Thank you so much for looking! I took lower cowling off and used contact cleaner but to no avail! There was a tiny flash of the dash light once but that was it. To change it I think I have to remove the steering wheel (?!) as the upper cowling is in the way. I have another 480 coming for ...

I bought it! Missed out on the grey Turbo so I'll keep this one and fix up my old Turbo... At least both are red!

Just arranging for it to be transported down south and I'll post more once I have it.

Cheers

£5k for a really rough 'film prop' 480

Just noticed this on Ebay! £5k!! I asked if they had made a mistake i.e. £500.

If this is for real I am gobsmacked!

Any 480er's in the South?
