1 in 10,000

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

1 in 10,000

I've owned my white 480 Celebration for just over 6 months and in that time have covered over 10,000 miles without spotting a single one until I finally broke my duck in Carlisle on the 27th December with a maroon celeb parked up on Brampton Road near the Art College. Quite fitting really as I lived in and around Carlisle for 18 years and I reckon the sub-conscious seeds of my 480 ownership were sown in those parts when the landlord of the local pub bought one in the early 90's.

Make that 2 in 12,000!

Visited Lyme Regis on the 30th January and parked down near the harbour. Returned to the car park to find a black L-reg 480S parked right alongside us - hats off to whoever that was, sorry we didn't get to say hello!
