Volvo 480 Club Europe

This is the first time I've had chance to look into this one.
I like the look of it and the colour.

Good news is; It's just passed an MOT today with no advisories. Got to be a plus point.

Just spotted this if anyone is in need of one at the minute. I bought one not long ago to replace mine of the same (in a 1990 car....for anyone wanting to keep it era correct!).

So, I noticed last night; suddenly it’s spares or repairs and lost 6k in this hilarious process. Still needs to lose about another £1,800. Lost all the “I know what I’ve got” garb too. Still “the only one advertised in the UK” though! :lol: This one really has been the gift that keeps on giving for ...

I was recently getting screen quotes as mine has numerous minute chips.

I know one was about £300, maybe less and one was well over £400. The reasoning the expensive one gave me was not to be fooled by cheap imported screens with little or no warranty.

Just a thought to ask when enquiring.

Excellent work as always.

The modification is tidy and not ridiculous. A 10 from me.

Update. He went in last week for all the new parts to be fitted and it really does feel different. I wasn't expecting to notice it really but there is definitely a change. Couldn't do much in a few miles in the driving rain yesterday but I'm taking it for a wheel alignment check and a good 60 or so ...

Hi Guys Just scanned this for Jeff so thought I'd best share it here too for those who haven't got one. Should be a downloadable PDF you can save and/or print but let me know if it's not! It's very small so I hope all the text is readable. :D https://drive.google.com/file/d/1O3ttbH6_vcYLGgaO2Z0st-zh...

Sounds stupid but, do you know their names? They might be in the phone book if you know the general area. It’s still out there! Online now too.

Thanks for all the info. I’ll make sure I ask all of these questions when I go! Sorry you had such a rubbish experience.

Oooh, as pre-stainless person (but doing soon) ...what's wrong with yours? Is it just not done very well? Are there bad things about them? Did you just have the cat back? Just so I can make informed decisions when It's my turn! Looks lovely and tidy. Deadening is definitely something I need to do to...

:lol: My car was missing the 480 Turbo one when I got it and the left-heaviness of it was upsetting me so much! Didn’t take me long to source one. Then I marked all the points off it’s sale images (where it was in place.....?) to make sure it was in the right place! The badges are one of the most ‘m...

.....Are we all sweating at the mis-placement of the replacement rear badge?

As eBay goes, it’s 98% likely it’ll not get collected or paid for... but if it does..... it’s currently at £6k with 3 days to go.

It looks like you can still get them from originparts.de if the worst comes to the worst!

But postage may be high or not even available now (didn’t try it).

But someone will have them I’m sure.

Looking good

Which company did you use? I keep looking but it's just something that gets pushed to the back of the queue!

I had to just get some quick when I put my plate on!

Oh, weird! I’ll check that out.

No worries

Excellent! Well done with the patience on the faff!

Once I've got the proper replacement and it's daylight, I'll have another go at it

If you still need one....

Those are some great photos, have a professional look to them! I can't help but wonder what your reg plate was originally on in 1964/5 (B reg suffix). I like how it seems to have dealer details underneath, I have some new plates on order :hopping: The original plate on the 480 was G369 WPD, the car...

Hope you're all having a nice day. I've already excelled myself and had my baked potato! Managed to get out earlier. Drove about 50 miles all together. Went to the Kinema in The Woods to try and get some there too but it's all fenced off while it's closed :( Almost impossible to get anything level i...
