Aw, poor lil thing!! Least they are trying to sell it on, rather than splitting it! Hopefully someone will give it a good home!

It's the same as my 95 turbo, I even had those alloys.

I am not a big fan of air con when it goes wrong-but when we have the odd hot day, i love it, and the dehumidifier is VERY useful if i have straightened my hair

Ah 2+2 =4. Jim, Why is A.C such a problem? If you dont like it don't use it. It seldom works on older cars anyway. Surely if you are such a 480 fan you must be finding good ones thin on the ground and the newest 480s tend to have A.C. Would you rather drive something else rather than have to have a 480 with an A.C button on the dash? just curious.

love the sunroof fresh air is so much better.

air con just breeds bacteria and should be disinfected annually. Plus its just another thing to go wrong.

there are a few good 480s out there but the prices are rising

Yeah, could be a good project ... looks in a sorry state, you'd think they'd at least inflate the front tyre for the picture! haha!

I'd second that ... I really missed the sunroof!

In my opinion, air con is just heavy, clutters the engine bay, rarely works and not really needed in Scotland! If it does work, you've to pay to maintain it.

Sunroof everytime!

Yeah i just seen that on ebay, hate seeing 480s in the kack house like that. You guys moan about air con, but when your blowers don't work, its my only of getting warm! ........ until that breaks too

a,c ??? strip it off it only saps power from the engine and burns fuel for no good reason in this country .... Windows and the sunroof are the way forward
