Wanted: 480 automatic
Hello all
After 3 years of 480 ownership I'm considering a change.........from a manual to an automatic!
So if anyone out there has a roadworthy automatic that they would consider selling please let me know.

Re: Wanted: 480 automatic
That certainly looks like a tidy motor you have their Rhigga but I'm a bit of an old traditionalist (or maybe I should say just a bit old!) so the lowered suspension and two tone wouldn't be for me. Thanks for sending though.

Re: Wanted: 480 automatic
I really do have to bite the bullet and sell my Turbo. Its currently SORNd but have no doubt that it will fire up first time. It needs an MOT and the only things that need looking at are the SRS light comes on and then stays on. This is an easy fix with a bridge resistor. Airbag will still work!! It has been well looked after generally and I don't want a great deal for her. If you, or anyone else reading this, would like to come and have a look (no pressure to buy!!) then please let me know.

Re: Wanted: 480 automatic
A few weeks ago there was a white 480 automatic advertised on autotrader for an eyewatering £2k. It's not there now and I haven't seen it advertised anywhere else so was just wondering if anyone out there knew what had become of it. I seem to recall it was in the Leicester area.

I think this wouldn't be too much work too have a car to be proud of.

Re: Wanted: 480 automatic
Cheers for the heads up James
Have fired off a few questions to the seller. Interested to see what price they want to put an MOT on it. If it's reasonable might well check it out.
