My first 480, a Lavender '90 ES, was refined, comfortable, no drinker, but very eh... independant ;) ... definitely a she. My second 480, a black '89 Turbo, was too fast for its own good, a bit harsh now and then, perfectly happy with a couple of pints more and as accountable as you could wish for.....

Get the watering-can out... give it a good soaking and watch for the leak. Better even to get the hose out to give the car a good spray. Remove inside boot panels etc and get somebody in the car to watch water come in eventually. Labour intensive, I know, but it might reveal more than one leak. :? ...

I know it's a bit early to say, but this far it seems there's only a lot of fiddling to do, nothing major. So go for it... you might end up with a fairly unique stable! :D
