I must agree with the other comments about current value.Just an idea do you have somewhere to store it until you can afford or have the time to get it sorted? It’s a real shame because cosmetically it looks so good.if this isn’t possible then I think break...

Re: Snazzy's story
Snazzy went in to finally have her re-furbed wheels fitted today, we left her sitting between a Range Rover and a new Porsche. She still held her head up high with her wonderful new livery despite the competition. She positively sparkled in the sun. Now, over the last 2 or 3 years we've had all our...

Re: Going up !
Looks a nice example. Would like to see pics of drivers seat bolster and the dash. The celeb interior is the “available extra” I take it? Will await Jeff’s critique but looks a good one.

Re: 1990 Turbo Auto
Good old Jeff a most helpful chap. I find he is very typical of forum members, a very friendly and helpful place. Good luck with your new mechanic a decent and reasonably priced one is hard to find. I struck lucky with Mark at RS autos, he served his time on renaults before setting up on his own. By...

MOT phobia
As a few of you know last year my celeb almost caught fire during its MOT. This was due to the cooling fan seizing and burning the wiring out! Subsequently discovered the fan was not fuse protected. This year what we thought was a drl bulb failure turned out to be the wiring for the rear number plat...

Re: 1994 480 S on eBay
James is correct. The bastard who sold you it in that state! I would echo his thoughts that getting it sorted yourself may be better financially in the long run especially if you invested a fair bit initially. Wish you all the best whatever you decide.

Re: 480 Wheels = controversy!
Hi Norm, Yes, your centre caps are for the Atlas wheels. If no-one else wants them and you want them gone, I'll have what's left. I have a set of Atlas in the garage, stacked so I cant hit the back wall. I know not all the centre caps are there, should be somewhere else but Al is not the tidiest pe...
