Black 480 spotted by Heineken in Manchester!

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

Black 480 spotted by Heineken in Manchester!

Post by alfie12 » Fri Dec 18, 2020 11:22 pm

Was literally talking to my work colleague in the van today about my failed 480 project and how I long to see a good working one when LOW AND BEHOLD... A black beauty pops out of nowhere! We both shouted in shock, and also kinda freaked us out! Just up by the Heineken brewery crossing princess road!

A great looking example whomever it belongs to!

Great spot and rare these days!

Mind you, you did see "a good working one" just the other afternoon... ;)

Haha very true, but at least I was expecting that one! I thought for a minute I had woken up in 1991!
