It was shit, to sum it up! Maybe i just got a bad one but it's put me right off the V/S series.
Ive got a 2001 Seat Ibiza TDi sport for my runabout now, German reliability all the way!
Got to flog it though and buy a 4 door Golf, need pram space......

Yeah, it was a riot to drive! I hardly used it though so it seemed a waste to keep it doing nothing.
They are not too difficult to build, the toughest bit is finding a mk1 thats not rotten right through! Deffo look for a jap import to use as a donor.

Re: Showroom condition 480 18,000 miles
Wow, that really is an 80's timewarp! Amazing!
Good luck with the sale, its a high price for a 480 but i reckon its worth the money as it really must be a one off!

Re: Whats it worth
To pass our countrys annual MOT test the speedo has to read in MPH.

Re: Where i went (carwise) after my beloved 480..
Very very nice!
I sold my s40 2 litre turbo as it was a bit too refined!
Instead i now have this little beauty!
S40 T4, chipped and very very quick!
Still have my MR2 as well, although its hibernating due to the snow/salt!
