Three cars 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.

Three cars for sale.

Post by gingherheed » Wed Jan 13, 2016 12:24 pm

88 ES, MOT til March. Low miles, brilliant condition. Can be seen on LSB car sales website.
A J teg Turbo Auto. Loads of work done to it. Currently SORNd.
A D reg ES. This is one of the launch cars so is one of the last remaining in the UK of the 200 original cars to launch the brand. The registered plate confirms plus the PDI doc says launch car on it. It's currently under a sheet and will need trailoring away. Comes with a complete spare engine off another launch car (which I can prove! !)
I will accept any reasonable offer on any/all of these cars.
This is a painful parting and I am a bit emotional about my beloved 480s so don't be surprised if I cry when you collect. I will provide pics/info/anything else required via email. Contact me via PM first though please.

Dont suppose you have any parts that you may no longer be needing? I wouldnt want you getting upset when you saw your unfitted mudflaps, water jet nozzles and vented disks ;-)

Good luck with your sales in the mean time.

I can vouch for the Launch Car's pedigree. It used to be mine!

Mssr. Heed‎ picked it up from me in Cambridge and drove to Southampton in it a few years ago. So, it was all complete and working; I believe he has removed a few parts though hence the trailering required for pickup.

It had replacement arches wel‎ded in, so if they are still good, that can be considered a job well done. 

I regret changing the interior, however, the original red-piped one was very tired and saggy.

Obviously, the above pictures are quite out of date. I think the first set is from 2007 or 2008 and the set with the new arches welded in is from 2009.

As I have already ‎told Andy, I would have had the Launch Car back from him in a shot if it wasn't for me getting married this year, painting and selling the boat where I live and moving to a proper house. 

It has the B18E engine in which is the absolute best you are going to get in N/A form. I'm still loving my '87 ES with the same engine.
