Well.... its been an interesting summer hasn't it? just HOW many 480's have suddenly emerged out of the wood work for sale?
I think it started with the White scrapper for £8k (which soon dropped to £6k, then £5k)
The turbo at auction - Made 2.5
2 GT's (averaged just over 1k each)
3 celebs (1 saved, 1 broken, one still on auction)
a smattering of ES's
An S
and a twin tone...
All I'm waiting for now is a "The scrappage scheme will give me £2k so match that and it's yours" idiot, and I think that'll be Bingo!
All aboard the gravy train....

Re: All aboard the gravy train....
Where was the Twin Tone? I don't recall seeing that, or have there really been that many I haven't noticed?
If I were to get another Wedge it will probably be a TT 2.0, but I have other fancies to satisfy first

Re: All aboard the gravy train....
The latest was a nice looking F reg ES at Mathewsons on the 22nd. I don’t know what it fetched though.

Re: All aboard the gravy train....
I go out that way every so often - that's the second early white-with-black-bumpers 480 they've had this year. If I'm passing I'll definitely stop and have a look at it - apart from the fact mine was manual, it's just like my first 480 was!MisterH wrote: ↑Mon Aug 24, 2020 9:42 amhttps://mathewsons.co.uk/auctions/aucti ... 80-es-auto

Hopefully a tad more reliable though...
