Stunning example on Car & Classic...

Cleaned up the garage, found parts laying around, but it turned out to be a complete Volvo 480? If you want to sell your car (480 only) you can place an advert here.

Stunning example on Car & Classic...

I don't think I've ever seen one this immaculate before. No rust that I can see, taillights look mint and the paint is flawless. Not even as much as a mark on the interior and the heater knobs look like new!!!
22,000 miles and up for £6300.

According to the seller the only negatives are a slightly inconsistent fuel filler cap release lever (common 480 'quirk') and some stone chips to the front nose cone.

While you could get a very well sorted Turbo or any one of the special editions for that price, the condition and mileage alone makes me think it's worth near to what the seller is asking.

Comes with original mudflaps and a rather tasty original dealer fit Volvo fire extinguisher!

Only thing is I'd be afraid to put miles on it...

And no, this post isn't paid promotion for the listing :lol: Just stunned at the condition of this beauty.

Since November 2020 the car has only done 720 miles and the last MOT expired on the 5th of November 2021.
Cheers, Richard.
