Save A Pretty Turbo - eBay

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.

Body looks doable. Tidy inside.
Just that small issue under the bonnet.... :D

@edie_fox
I’m new to this! What is not right under the bonnet?
Just got my first 480 (August 2020)!
1990 ES 1.7, Superwhite
I have ticked off around 45 items, cosmetic and mechanical
Remaining:
- Vibration at 1500 RPM (hard to locate)
- Rough idle (harder one)
- Touch-ups
- Change rims (Pollux to slightly fresher Atlas)
- install my “new” flawless door pocket
I also just bought a 2004 XC90.

No problem :)
Mentioned in the listing is suspected head gasket:

All Original None Modified Interior, Exterior & Engine
Becoming Rare, Future Classics Compounded by it being a Turbo & Auto
Car Drivers Good with the exception of a misfire, suspected Headgasket However, Being a 8 Valve this is an easy Engine to work on & rectify

This Volvo has "Fair" condition bodywork for the age Bar the Expected Abrasions & Knocks, Specifically Both Bumpers
O/S Drivers Rear Arch Has Rust But Is Complete.
N/S Passengers Rear Arch Has Been Dented With Rust Also.
N/S Passengers Rear Inner Light Is Broken Further More There Is Damage Below Said Light - See Photos

. Alloys All Round - Missing Centre Caps
. Electric Windows - Working
. Electric Mirrors - Working
. Central Locking - Working
. Sunroof
. Half Leather/Cloth Heated Seats & Generally very good condition interior, including Trim
. Original Stereo
.Roof, Bonnet & Bumpers Free From Dents

I'd still choose this over the SUD, who is currently at £700+.

Hi all, I’m coming back to these cars so looking for a goodish example.
I will be trying to save this car if the bids don’t go mad to get me back into one. Used to have a J reg White Turbo 20 years ago.
Regretted selling it.

I missed out on this car, hoping someone else on here got it.
Has great potential.
