Volvo 480 introduction video with Derek Bell
Volvo 480 UK introduction video featuring Derek Bell and several Volvo sales reps. A very nice watch, though it's only just over 8 minutes in length:

Nice collection of cars, don't see that in a meeting today
Note that all 480's featured in this video are left hand drive!

Nice upload Robert.
The water being misted over the car at sunset by a guy in a boiler suit. 80's super cheese, like watching a Top Gun outtake!!
Love the 480s coming down Craner curves. More exciting than BTCC.
The spoof is a great idea. Track day!!

If they knew how the car will leak water, they wouldn’t wash it so much

It couldn't get more 1980s than that I suppose
I wonder how fast the enthusiasm of the Volvo salesmen waned when the problems with water leakage and flaky electronics surfaced...

Great video, not sure I believe that the dealers were that excited though,
