Re: Free/cheap stuff in Southampton.
I think that ship saled long ago, however have you been to Lake's Autos? It is quite a trek for you but they have a 480 in there at the moment, tho it is crash damaged, James and Jaster got some headrests for mine from it, it may have an intact subframe, but the bumper met the wrong side of a bolla...

Re: Scrap or Restore, youtube 480
Well, thanks for the encouraging comments so far. I am pleased that many are fond for a restoration. I certainly wasn't ready to let go a few years back and still haven't changed my mind. Im keen to get the key sorted so will be giving Volvo a ring for that urgently. I also am keen to get a Subframe...

Re: oops, we did it again !
Obviously it's a shame when things aren't as we'd have hoped :( But looking on the bright side, if 312 is, indeed, to be B1, then her rescue will not have been in vain.

Just to reiterate my thoughts "It's a very brave "restore it"; There's less than 250 cars left in the UK (there was only ever around 3.5k of the turbos), so you've a rare car. It also looks, from the interior, to be one of the early cars too." Some good news - The k...
