Volvo 480 Club Europe

He is a 2000 anthracite/silver with play mini zorst, k&n 57i kit, bailey one off header tank, minifin rocker cover, polk speakers with Minidisc head unit. newton fuel cap & i think thats it.
he is adorable will post photos morrow when not so tired.

ha ha ha my kitten just fell in the bath while on phone to insurance company. anyway they slaughtered highway on the mini at only £160 where i am paying £240 & also Clio is £325 so Darren you win loads of sweeties! Now gotta find out how much Highway are going to do me for for leaving early...

highway as in robbers! just on phone to flux

I did no think they would do that on a Mini that is only 7yrs old? Will try though.
Thanks

Right. two cars, both used regular. Insurance is a pig to find that will cover both with my full no claims. Only found about two companies that do this so pay a bit more than I probably would if only had one. The usual answer is they will only cover one with the no claims & other one has to start at...

Well that one on ebay went for £800 so it did get good money. Wait till I sell the Mini then have a look around, the choice is still between a 480 or a Pulsar gt-i. ooh yes please.
hope it is ok to stay now even if I am not a 480 owner (yet).

If it had stayed as an insurance post I would have got involved as they are indeed the biggest criminals of them all.

That was annoying just wrote a lengthy reply with photos of my cars to be told error I had not posted enough
aarrgghhh

anyway that 480 I like is up to £800 now so think it will go for what he wanted.

I would love to as the Mini will be being sold probably once I can break my heart to do it & then I will have a decent amount of spare cash to get a car.
I will bring the Willy to our meet so you can say Bonjour to a REAL french hot hatch

Jaine

Williams is better than a 205 anyday

480 idea may be on hold as rad got two leaks on Willy so got to get that sorted first bless him.

Thanks for all your help & if anyone local to Essex with a 480 I would love to see & go out in it.

There is a 480 ES on Ebay at the moment, in Gt Yarmouth, what do people reckon to this one? I was going to bid. I asked the bloke outright what he wants & he said £900? Sounds a fair bit to me?
Jaine

Thank you again. Tis not so much the Willy is a money pit but he is a stunner so I try to keep him garaged & in as good as nick as possible so the Volvo will be outside & going back & forth to work or taking dogs out. I have checked Pistonheads, AutoTrader & Ebay, there are a couple of nice ones but...

Thank you for the various advice, because I have the Willy I really dont need a turbo as want to keep costs down. I have seen 2.0ES go for about £500-600 in good nick, is this the right sort of price?
Cannot see any for sale on here
Jaine

I would sell mine for a decent price and if I could find a good 205gti, the best french hot hatch ever!

We could have a good discussion about that one

Macaroni.
Hey honey how you doing? How lovely to find you here.
Is it only the 1.7 that are turbo? I am totally new to these so bear with me as I have seen a really nice 2.0ES for sale.

No going this year if you fancy it?

Hello! I need some advice please. I am in the market for a cool, retro car as a run about & have always adored the 480. I am a total car nut & also own a Clio Williams & original Mini Cooper. So what model is reliable & cheapish to run please? I presume the Turbo versions will be a lot more to insur...
