Launch car for sale.

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.

Launch car for sale.

Post by gingherheed » Sat May 16, 2015 1:58 pm

I have one of the 1987 launch cars, a red ES, for sale. I bought it from another member several years ago and drove it home. It has been sat under a car cover in my front garden since!! My intention was to restore her to a reasonable (if not showroom!) condition, however many other commitments always seem to get in the way. The car is complete and comes with a load of spares BUT both rear wheel assemblies are off. I have them and will put them back on in order to move the car, which will need putting on a trailer/loader. I will accept a reasonable offer. If I don't get any takers then, sadly, she will be stripped down and sold for spares. Please message me if you would like to have this very early model and piece of 480 history. I only know of one other launch car in the UK that has survived. I had another one which I scrapped so if anyone knows anything of the other 197 of these cars then please let me know. Car is in Southampton if you want to come and have a look. No pressure to buy it!

Maybe a dumb question nut do you have any pedigree of the cars?
Knows that tidal pools are standard with every 480 you buy, as are skating rings in winter.
