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

spotted an L reg 480S in the light silvery blue colour (forgotten its name) on the main street in keith, morayshire- L*** LSO as i was passing through yesterday and today.
its on celebration wheels but looks different with no spoiler or fogs. mind you mines minus its spoiler just now anyway...
I could be wrong but LSO could be fairly local? it had arnold clark on the plates which is what inverness and aberdeen volvo are, at least nowadays anyway!
possibly anyone on here?! Way up north here I very rarely see 480's

Yes 'SO' was Aberdeenshire, quite surprised to see one that vintage this far north, salt usually kills them,
PS why the photo of your?? car and not the silver one?
PPS you can see the number plate in teh phot, can you edit?

yeah theres a LOT of salt on the go just now. trying to dissolve my car.
the pic IS of my car with the one i saw but for some reason its chopped when i put it on here?!
i'm not sure how to edit the pic but had hoped the plate isnt quite clear enough that it would be an issue, was just taken on my phone camera.
Interesting that it is as i guessed a local registration!
