Volvo 480 Club Europe

I haven't seen this one before. Thought it was pretty cool!

Bloody brilliant! I do love it when they have a sense of humour. Any idea what year? Looks early to me

Great adverts - wonder if Volvo themselves have copies of them rather than paying £20 for a poorly scanned version?

The text refers to the "new" 480 Turbo so I'd guess it would be 88 or 89. It looks exactly like my old red Turbo.

I have another one from Vogue magazine which shows a RHD car next to the beach, presumably in the UK which I think must be one of the D*** CPV cars. I will scan it it in some day and post here

The Swedes do some very amusing advertising

Good ad indeed, particularly the 2nd pages do it.

More under the skin goodness!

And I was worried about my arches rotting away...

I've done a lot of digging for this advert, and not had much luck. Volvo don't have it in their online Press Release archive so I am waiting to hear back from the archive that posted it to Alamy. Apparently they have it filed under 1990s so unless that's a mistake it's a bit later than we thought.

I did find this one though :

Anyone else remember this one ?

And of course, the chuck norris christmas response to it!

this one is one I always remember (mainly for the "I'm a control freak!" line!)
