Another punt (1988 Black Turbo)

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.

The title alone annoys me somewhat, and this: "Anyone who is looking at this listing will know how iconic the Volvo 480 Turbo was" :rofl: :rofl:

And the MOT History is best read while listening to this:

I hope this provides some comic relief, but am aware it may just be a bit disheartening, I can remember when I was first looking for one of these they were all fairly priced...

And we are effectively told, albeit not in so many words, that the lovely shiney car in the pictures that was professionally prepared for presentation in a showroom at some random date perhaps many years past looks nothing like that now.

So other than as library photos to show any newbie what a polished up 480 looked like in its day, the value of the photos to a potential purchase is...what?

Misleading ad, I say.
