Re: 480 for Sale
This is now available for offers around £500 as owner needs space. Will be scrapped in 2 weeks of it doesn't sell which is a shame.

Re: 480 for Sale
It is really sad.... it must go for £500 surely....?
I hate to be a vulture, but if it is scrapped, can you let me know where.... I need a carpet... no interior pics but looks presentable already. Breakers yards have a habit of leaving doors & windows open or off entirely. I have seen two cars now that would of had salvageable carpets but now have footwells only fit for frogspawn
Or tell me to bog off and create a Volvo forum ID! I just remember the 400 sections being pretty quiet.

Re: 480 for Sale
Why don't we all club together, buy the car and donate it to one of our number who is currently off road? That way the car remains on the road and not a casualty of the great garage in the sky, and someone deserving gets a low mileage daily driver gratis.
Just an idea.. crazy yah, but worthy of consideration? mebbe:)

Re: 480 for Sale
Well, we are near Norwich as well so very happy to go and give it a look over.
Nice idea Martin, I'd be willing to donate. Perhaps we could use it as a pool car.Anyone else got any thoughts ?Martin Mc wrote: ↑Mon Mar 16, 2020 10:05 pmWhy don't we all club together, buy the car and donate it to one of our number who is currently off road?

Re: 480 for Sale
I've a carpet cleaner and access to LOTS of chemicals, so can happily attempt salvage on any you find.Jay-Kay-Em wrote: ↑Mon Mar 16, 2020 9:26 pmI hate to be a vulture, but if it is scrapped, can you let me know where....

Re: 480 for Sale
I am willing to donate if some one can store it, it’s a great idea Martin. The car looks far too good to scrap going by the pictures.

Re: 480 for Sale
What’s the latest on this? Anyone else had any thoughts on Martins idea of a pool car?
Re: 480 for Sale
Well, I emailed the owner (Graham) about a week ago, but have had no reply as things stand.
I'd hate to see the car go to the 480 wedge in the sky, and would put money in to preserve her, or even go the whole hog and take her on - although i have nowhere to store another car just now.
Zapcity - what's the story?

Re: 480 for Sale
Sylvia's on the case - Pool car plan is looking promising - Apparently the owner works away from home a lot.
