Thought I'd post up that 3 480's look like they're going to get cubed at Lakes Volvo, Wyboston. Two have tow bars on that could be rescued if you are quick. Otherwise they are flattened on the top and not much use for much else as they are stacked up.
In the not-about-to-be-cubed section they have only three 480's left. A maroon celebration, a red '89 ES and another ES. Not a huge amount left of the interiors.
I saw a few 440 and 460s with snow trays in too while I was hunting for parts-- I guess they'll fit 480 too.
Hope this is of some use to somebody. It's sad to see so many mangled Volvos!

There is a silver Turbo there. you have to stare real hard at a prickly bush to see it, but it's there. haha
No engine in it though.

There are always ample warnings and there are always subtle signs,
And you would have seen them coming but we gave you too much time.
