Hmmm,
-The announcment of the 480 was end 1985 (october or something)
-The first motorshow of the 480 was Geneva 1986 (february)--> How about twenty 480 to Geneva 2006?
-The first driving impression was in spring/summer 2006 in southern France -->(idea: would be nice to drive the orginal route)
- Production about fall 1986--> (idea: factory visit)

Options enough...
