wow, they sure are going up in value !!!

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.

Actually doesn't look in too bad a condition; wonder what the "real" price is? I'm guessing it's someone taking a chance on getting a high price.

I don't understand people like this. Why can't they spend £50 and go for an MOT if they are so confident? 

It does look good.‎  The wheels look nice with fresh bright silver. The prettiest 480s I've have ever owned have been the silver ones.‎

Hope the engine is managing more than the quoted 75bhp! Maybe means kW?‎

Or this

Bought from here not long ago for slightly less

And reading the note at the bottom it’s all a bit worrying, the chassis number quoted makes it a 1986 not 87 and without a Vin plate to prove it it could not be registered (in this country) making it a rather expensive spares car. :rofl:
