Re: So whos bought M427 TFC then,mine and Roo's old Turbo?
gawd, it's like an old skool reunion! :D Glad to see folks are doin' well!!! In the last few years I've noticed a huge drop in the number of 480s I see on the road... :( We are on the point.... (possibly) of being 480-less......... (Ally's gorgeous Green ES was written off thanks to an oaf of a van ...

WANTED - LATE 480 ES/GT/CELEB
Hi there, well after 5 years of the most reliable and fun motoring my Ruby is at a stage where too many things need replaced (gearbox) or mended (various), and a whole body re-spray due to unbelievable accelerating laquer peel horror, and she's needing too much money spent on her to make it worthwhi...

thanks for that! I have two numbers - one keeps ringing and no-one answers - I presume the defunct one, and the other is ALWAYS engaged, thanks for the hint about best time of day to phone. We've decided to just do it ourselves - I'm running out of free days before I get really busy and I need it do...

2 in 2 days - Edinburgh
passed a white one on Henderson St yesterday- sorry didn't wave, I was distracted by pedestrians!
and passed a flamer today on Lochend Road (he'd just come from Easter Road, I thinks)
didn't get a chance to look for models and years.

white one spotted in Yorkshire
Was on the train going to Harrogate yesterday and spotted a white one sitting in a lane near the rail line between Cattal and Knaresborough. Train was going too fast to tell year etc.
