Volvo 480 Club Europe

Sorted running fine on blue EZ210K & flew through an MOT after taking most of the good bits off the 440



Untaxed not through lack of effort on my part - the DVLA lost the log book.....

Look who's back/guess who's back...







DVLA have lost the green slip now also

//edit news just in from DVLA...green slip found, I need to call them back wednesday, hopefully to declare SORN. Maybe even get a log book!

Did I ever mentioned how much I liked the DVLA & how efficient they are...



Sorted! I know SORN isn't usually much of an achievement but in this case it was!!

New V5 in the post free gratis also

Just sorting through a few photos...

Some oldies there, fella.

The bairn's about a foot taller now and it's been on holiday to Manchester and Glasgow since!



In other news, I've been giving serious thought to resurrecting mine with something a bit fruity under the bonnet

It looked like a toy compared to the newer models, Alan!

That's the idea.

Ideas are great.
Then reality hits home

Yep I suffer from that on occasion (about once a day)

Speaking of which (the above image), unfortunately I have been landed with a huge vets bill and a very rusty Renault 21 in the same week, so I will be putting Pollution up for sale shortly....again I know

For anyone not up to date the engine is a B18FT with auto box from that cat C 440 turbo (approx 80k miles). The car will come with a Robou ECU, carbon front splitter & mint set of rear lights. I think I have a standard set of red ECUs also which can be used if need be.

Let me know if interested I would much rather sell for less to a forum member than attempt Fleabay

Definitely one of the lowest cars Volvo built, its "successor" C30 is over 12 cm taller. Only the P1800 is lower by almost 4 cm.

The steering wheel is at the wrong end for me, but the colour is great.
