When you spot a 480 and wonder if it's someone from the forum: ask it here! One rule: do NOT post registration plates.

It's been a very long time since I saw another 480 on the road. Unfortunately I was on the bus as you pulled out of Park Road on to the High street rather than in my 480, otherwise I would have waved.

Looks good by the way and from the MOT history looks like you did a lot of work to get it back on the road.

Kind Regards,
Stephen

Was a black one, assume a celebration but only saw the front. As said it looked good.

Always makes me smile the excitement - me included - seeing one in the wild. Been a while for me too.

~136 left taxed now (of all types) explains why....

Hope the owner makes contact. Amazes me that some owners don't pop their head in here now and again.
