Its a sibling celebration in Suffolk.

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

Couple of weeks back in Monks Eleigh, Suffolk, my Celebration found one of its long lost siblings. Are you on here??
PS Your alloys are mint. I want them.

Fantastic! It's so rare these days to find a sibling on the road...

Did you see what it's number of 480 was? What number is yours? Looks lovely...reminds me of the one I had for 6 years...

Concentrating on the road i actually didnt spot it parked, my passenger did thankfully!
Mine is 271 the other one didnt seem to have the plaque (at least not where its meant to be), but it had all the other celebration features.

I pass this everyday and look on with envy!

Might have to knock on the door and see if they are interested in selling.

Holding out for a celebration or GT in this colour but no luck yet.
1994 480GT - arrived!!
XC60 and XC70 for the daily grind.
C70 Coupé Convertible for the sunny days. Should sell it but can't!

What a fantastic photograph!

Getting rare now to actually achieve that. Celebrations taxed are 68 manuals, 15 autos......

I wonder why his plaque was gone? Could you spec those wheels and colour on a normal model?

I remember Monks Eleigh as a kid. Used to be a YUGO/FSO dealer on the high street. That dates me!
