Re: Missing being in the club

I’ll keep browsing in the hope that one day another will emerge that I can’t resist. There’s a 480 shaped hole in my life!

Missing being in the club

Hi all,
Having said goodbye to my second 480 two years ago I still frequently browse the usual sites to see if another has come up to tempt me. I’ve a XC60 now so really can’t and shouldn’t justify getting another 480 to go alongside. They really are my favourite cars though :(

Re: Wanted - mats, boot cover

Removed mats and roller. Also still have roof rack if you’re interested. It’s going to Hoppers in Birmingham should you want to get in touch with them for other bits..

Re: No.361 Celebration for sale

Yes - it would need the rusty bits sorting to get through MOT... may get it done if no one is interested as is...

No.361 Celebration for sale

After owning two 480s for the last 10+ years the time has sadly come to move on to bigger, if not better things. So here it is: 480 Celebration in dark red/burgundy. No.361. Still a good runner - relatively low mileage for its age (110,000 miles) Rusty bits round wheel arches and underneath back end...

Wanted: side light connector

Hello forum friends,
The side light connector on my 480 celebration has finally corroded to death. Anyone have a spare they’d sell me or know somewhere I might find one. It’s the bit the bulb goes in that has wires coming out the other end... thanks all - G

Re: Wanted - passenger side wing (wheel arch panel)

Thanks Tim. I'm hoping this Ebay one will do the trick.
Should be here Tuesday... if it turns out to be rubbish I'll likely be back on the hunt again.

Re: Wanted - passenger side wing (wheel arch panel)

Found another on EBay. Looks correct colour and "good" condition :)
Have ordered. Should be with me Tuesday. Fingers crossed all ends well.

Re: Wanted - passenger side wing (wheel arch panel)

Close but no cigar! Breakers had already started the squashing process :(
Anybody else know of one anywhere..?
Doesn't have to be celebration red although that'd be ideal...

Re: Wanted - passenger side wing (wheel arch panel)

Hi James,
That'd be fantastic thanks!
Just tried messaging you but keeps coming up with an error message.
Maybe if you can message me I'd have more luck with a reply...?
Thanks again,
Graham

Wanted - passenger side wing (wheel arch panel)

Hi all!
Does anyone have a passenger side wing that would fit my 1995 celebration?
Dark red would be ideal. Mine got pranged by an idiot delivery driver...
Fingers crossed :)
