Another Billy Big Balls

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.

Another Billy Big Balls

Just saw this - price is a bit saucy, based on other examples that have sold in recent times, but maybe there is beginning to be a market for the wonderwedge?

We shall see if it flies off the books... :)

mmm, first he says it's an ES, then an SE and in the description we're back to ES. It doesn't take much to work out it's actually a GT. What else has he got wrong ? Has it REALLY got cruise control ?
At this price, I'd expect to know the aircon is fully operational as well as the SRS, and wouldn't the dash look so much better if he bothered to replace the yukky heater button ? Bigger pics would be nice too, but I'm sure the eagle eyed lemon will fill us in on other details

Quite amazing isn't it? I bet that's being 'flipped' for a sizeable margin, yet you cant even give the oddments tray a vacuum.

Looks tidy, but you never know until the magic pokey screwdriver does its work.

I went to view the SS1 armed with said device, in the outer and out the inner sill, took the price down by 50% :-)
still got the SS1 after 26 years......
not bad for £350, total spent to get back to life £300 -£400, so it does not owe us a lot in running costs? even adding in new tyres/oil/filters for all those years etc
'banger' money?
