480 GT for spares
Sadly having to get rid of my intended project GT. Non runner and has been SORN'd for 3 years. Front subframe looks badly rusted, one front suspension spring broken, brakes badly rusted and pitted, windscreen cracked, non working starter motor. Rear lights in various states of refurbishment!
Don't have the time now to tackle the restoration
The good points...
popups work.
Doors intact.
electric windows work.
recent replacement CEM.
good battery.
new rear light seals (not yet fitted).
engine runs beautifully (when it starts).
recent new fanbelts.
Dash works most of the time.
Rear sills/wheel arches have been welded (but paintwork incomplete).
more incentives:
spare binnacle
spare washer bottle
spare jack in original blue bag
Would like to sell the whole lot in one go. Sorry, don't have time to strip it.
Located in east Cornwall. You will need a trailer.
Any offers?
Thanks for looking

Re: 480 GT for spares
Does the windscreen washer reservoir have the pumps installed or is it just the bare bottle?

Re: 480 GT for spares
Ah, okay, that's not for me then. Thanks and good luck with your other sales.
Would you mind testing the tweeters in the front doors and if they pass giving me a price on them?
To test, you'll have to unscrew the fastener on the round cover at the back of the tweeter to gain access to the terminals. The reason for this is to test the resistance of the speaker coil, missing out the capacitor in line with one of the terminals which will give a false open circuit resistance. Reading directly at the speaker terminals should give a small resistance and not be open circuit.

Re: 480 GT for spares
Really sorry, but someone has bought the entire car for a project, which means I don't have to break it
thanks for your interest

Re: 480 GT for spares
So pleased the car has had a reprieve, and yes an existing 480ClubEurope member is involved.

Re: 480 GT for spares
Yup, I too had that response to my enquiry, and i'm pleased too! Would much rather see a car live on than be broken for parts (despite the obvious need for them!)
