Volvo 480 Club Europe

Will do, I'll keep you posted !

Hello to all Hoped to get this beast back on the road but I don't now have the time :( I'm selling my N reg celebration for a nominal fee, it's a white one, number 154 and been SORN/Garaged for over a year, engine good and solid bodywork pretty good too. Mileage at 154,000 Failed MOT June 2007 on Br...

1500 are U mad / silly rich / insane / on the wind up ??????? :wink: Im probably a bit silly but far from rich, just something about older low mileage cars that floats my boat ! :) In response to johnny_e, Pretty sure the mirrors also became fully body coded instead of half coded and It got the big...

I take it everybody has seen this :

I think this one will easily go for 1500, If I had the cash I'd be first in the queue !

just have a pug diesel aswell....(like me :D ) you CAN have your cake and eat it. The pug costs sweeties to insure and run, you might find having both is viable. I agree, I'm running a wee clio at the moment, while the 480 sleeps in the garage, If you have the space you should hang on to it. You ca...

Well done that man :hopping: My rear demister has stopped working are the wires all in the same area? As far as I know they are all in a little loom at the top of the rear window "which is rubbish" mine caught fire after I poked it around a little because my stoplight wouldn't go off, but the small...

Thanks people, I suppose it's a good place to start. I'm more a bodywork man but I'm learning

Hi David and welcome to the club, I too bit the bullet a year or so ago and got my first 480. I think you should go for it, nothing like driving a car that genuinley put's a smile on your face. In terms of reliability, I'd try and go for a later model, they ended production around 95 in (N) reg U.K ...

Ah, the verdict is already out

Hola, Still in the middle of my 480 restoration but I have really annoying electrical fault I can't pinpoint. When my engine is running at any rpm all lights in/out the car flicker slightly to the rpm of the engine, I have seen this in many other older cars on the road mainly escorts and such. I tho...

and if we're posting photos



The car I sold to enter the 480 world,

love the old mazda aibast, something about them, amazing build quality !

You can laugh at the earlier ones, cause the insurance in Glasgow can limit you a bit whan you are 17 :lol: Y Reg, Mark 1 Fiesta (Beige with blue stripe) Nice D Reg Mark 2 Nissan Micra F Reg Mark 2 Nissan Micra D Reg Mazda 323 LX (Like the turbo monster shape) similar to volvo-bigbro?) T Reg (1979) ...

I'm sure quite a few of you like myself got an XC60 shoroom brochure popped through the door yesterday. I have and I'm in love ! Anyone else loving it also ?? Haven't seen one in the flesh yet but I have already earmarked an imaginery 30K for one, got to be white though

As above, looks good for a quid, it's always good to have something on paper though, unless you print out the bits you are after, if you are like me you will need something to reference while you are beside the car, but i know that if i took a laptop in the garage it would probably end up like the c...

the bumper reminds me of a pattern part front bumper from my boyfriends escort...if you want that sort of look, why buy a 480?!?!?! :shock: (PS thats just an escort off of google images lol) http://www.charlies-car-sales.co.uk/escort.JPG Hahahahaha, yeah, when I first saw it I thought Ford Mondeo, ...

and a happy new year from me.. may this be the year I get my 480 on the road and can post some usefull threads in the process

Finished !!

It's not 100% perfect but a vast improvement !!
Can't decide if the bumpers look better with or without the stripe ??

Nice ........ I Like !!

Ok, what you have there is a (fairly rare) Paris Edition. Features include the leather seats, only fitted to this model (that design), a leather momo steering wheel, green stripe, different carpet. Its worth a bit more. Maybe 450. Yup, I'd be pretty happy with her for that money, Paris editions are...
