Volvo 480 Club Europe

Due to Paypal ending money pools early next month, I have opened a Paypal account for the rescues. Unfortunately it means less transparency as no-one but me can see the donations or the balance but I will happily post screenshots from time to time.

The unimaginative email address is volvo480rescuegroup@outlook.com. Once again we have rescued more cars than we had funds for but R6 and R7 just had to be saved so I've raided my piggy bank again.

Here is the link for the old money pool, I'll leave this here for now so anyone wanting to look at it can:

I'd just like to say a BIG thank you to everyone who has helped the rescue work

Well done Sylvia.
There's going to be a fleet soon. What are you going to do with them all? Lol
A very select 480 museum? A 480 rental fleet? A pool of cars we can rotate around while we keep Jeff busy?

Good work trying to save them though.
Hope to catch you all at a meet at some point

The plan is the same plan that's always been: Find 'em, rescue 'em, find them new caring owners

More big thank yous for the donations made in the last few days, bless you all for your generosity.

Thanks are also due to members who have donated parts or helped in other ways. Between you, you all make it possible.

PLEASE SEE THE FIRST POST - IMPORTANT AMENDMENT

I'm no longer sending money as PayPal imposes a hefty charge to convert to GBP from Euro. Now I'm ticking in all honesty "Gift" on the customs form which is affixed to a box with spares, sent to an undisclosed person who has his front yard full with rescue car projects.

I'm sure we are all baffled as to who the recipient of care packages might be

May I recommend Wise for anyone doing international money transfers. Not necessarily this pool thing, just in general if needed.
