Volvo 480 Club Europe

Can anyone remember far back enough to the 1990s to recall whether Volvo dealers were allocated a limited stock of GTs, Celebrations, the Two Tone, Paris Blue cars etc and it was then down to the Volvo dealer to sell them or was it a case of a potential customers needing to contact their Volvo deale...

Oh and the 3-decade old first aid kit that came with the car…

Any chance of a photo of this please William?

A fun read about a 480 spotted in Germany

Great photos - around 25 480s? All from Germany? Quite the understatement! :shock: Where's the 480 graffiti? What it done specifically for the tour? I feel we need to up our tour game now! I would love to have a 480 get together in June 2024 Jeff - maybe near Born? Easy to get to from Belgium, Fran...

POA indicates an eye watering price. I hope no-one buys it without looking at the poor MoT history.

Yes - clearly someone looking to make a fast buck

Looks like its sold already? That was quick! Then again, that Two Tone that was up for £3k the other day didn't hang around for long either. Just as well he wasn't breaking the GT as you'd have had some competition on those wheels AND the interior! I prefer Taurus's to the Vesas, but I'd want them ...

What's the difference between an a/c and non-a/c power steering pump? As new ones are still available, with a 5-rib pulley: https://www.autodoc.co.uk/ridex/8156292 and new brake calipers are also still available: https://www.autodoc.co.uk/ridex/12747549 (though I don't like the quality) The Non-AC ...

Thanks Jeff!!!

Hi everyone - for a 1994 480 ES, I need a Power Steering Pump (the non air con version) and a drivers side rear brake caliper.

I am based in the Southampton/Portsmouth area, but would be prepared to drive a reasonable distance to collect.

Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!

Thanks James - Facebook Marketplace is a strange world, especially when it comes to cars

It's going James - quite a few time wasters, but that was to be expected really.

Fortunately I am in no big rush to sell my 480 and I am looking forward to taking it over to the Isle of Wight in a couple of weeks time.

Normally, I would say everyone else is welcome to join us, but I've yet to speak to Weston Manor. I was hoping to combine a personal visit with another trip, but our week went completely haywire so it will have to be a phone call. Until I have spoken to them, I have no idea if they might have a fun...

Some time ago Jaster suggested a photoshoot of GTs at Weston Manor, to recreate the photos in the GT sales brochure: https://www.dragonflyjewel.co.uk/480/gtbrochure1.jpg https://www.dragonflyjewel.co.uk/480/gtbrochure2.jpg The proposed date is Sunday 24th July. Weston Manor is north of Oxford, near...

Just thought I'd document my research here as I can't find a single trace on Google about it. This only started by me trying to find some original main dealer number plates for my 480. However, some new cars don't need a main dealer. Be it press cars for Volvo's own use, or big supply contracts lik...

Thanks David - I read too many fairytale descriptions of 480s when I was looking for one. I wouldn't do that to someone else. I believe my description is both honest and accurate. I am in no huge rush to sell and I would like it to go to someone who will look after it and enjoy it. I know that was c...
