480 on single picture
I was listening to my playlist on Deezer today and this came up… a song with the 480 as the picture.
Have I gone mad? I have absolutely no recollection of adding this tune! I have a habit of just adding random stuff I hear on 6Music without knowing who it is but I don’t even like this song that much.
It looks like L909 JEP or JEF.

Oooh that is interesting, the 480 doesn't get a huge amount of music and film industry attention, but it does get some...
Wonder if it's owned by the artist

Re: 480 on single picture
vaguely remember this from a previous convo - I think it's owned by the artist?

Re: 480 on single picture
There was a red ES that appeared a number of times in a music video a few years back. Got blown up though unfortunately.

Re: 480 on single picture
Interestingly I have a note on the celeb register that it's a GT with a celeb badge, presumably a hatch change

So I HAVE gone mad. I must have been told about this, favourited it and then promptly forgotten all about it!

Re: 480 on single picture
GT came out late May 94, so early ones (like mine) are indeed L-plate (albeit mine is actually on a private plate).dragonflyjewels wrote: ↑Tue May 31, 2022 12:32 pmYup, Volvo did calendar years on the specials

GT should have clear indicators but, back in the day they were still available from Volvo, orange indicator units were cheaper than clear ones (I know: I bought a new set of clear ones back in around 2001 to "upgrade" a 1992 car!) plus of course far more numerous (clear only came out for 1994 model year cars). So my guess is that the GT in the picture, like Sven (I have always assumed) has had orange units retro-fitted...
Even if you are going mad, great spot James!!
