Here you can talk about the joy owning a Volvo 480 brings. Non-technical discussions take place here, like what is the difference between an ES and a S version.

Post by DanDCowan » Fri Feb 08, 2013 11:10 am

Below is a list of the cars that have been registered on the club site :D

Question - When did they call Flame Red Flame Red? Because in my brochures it says Burgundy Red? It also calls 'Dark Grey' Storm Grey!

Maybe I should try again.

Mine was over two months ago, tried again today to be told I had already tried to register and to wait. Oh well need to wait a bit longer.

332 running very well indeed.
Trying slowly to restore it to full original condition, just need a couple of small items now and it will be finished.
In daily use though.

I haven't got a Celebration :cryhard: but I followed Davey's link anyway just for a look, and you can register all models of 480 on there :D

Even more surprisingly, there is the name of the guy on there that I worked with at a previous company and never knew he was into 480s!! Sent him an email to say gotcha! I had the 440 at the time I think....maybe he kept it a secret to prevent jealousy :P

Yep - despite getting close to selling it before and then (fortunately) seeing the error of my ways, I still have No 73.
