Selling my 480 Celebration #276 (now with added photos)
Posted: Fri May 13, 2022 2:06 pm
Hey guys!
***My 480 is still available and needs a new home as I have sold my house***
Not posted much around here for a number of years... mainly as I forgot my login details and work crazy night shifts, too.
Reason I have popped up is I want to sell my 480 Celebration model as it's just too much for me to take on. Rotten rear arches and rust along the inner rear bumper have hampered my chance of getting this back on the road and at a manageable cost.
Other than this obvious rust, the body is in decent condition bit I'd rather it went to an enthusiast around here (preferably) as I fear a chancer will break it and punt it off for spares. This would actually just destroy me
Last year, the engine cut out while idling, there was fuel in the tank but I suspect the pump may have gone as I can't hear it priming the system before I start it.
I have had the car since August 2014 and it came from the Altrincham area I am lead to believe.
Details as follows;
480 Celebration #276
Satin White
2.0 Automatic
105k (odometer not worked since 2014 and neither has the speedo) classic 480...lol!
N583DHG
In 2016, I had the cylinder head skimmed, new timing belt, water pump and aux belts done and new mid section of exhaust to be on the safe side and used it until the MOT ran out in 2017. I have paper work and stuff to back this up also. Beforehand there was no paperwork bar scraps and odds and ends.
I have pictures a plenty for you to see and I'm sure I have missed out details also but my point is I'd rather it came in the safe hands of enthusiastic members and brought back to the road again.
Was looking for a sensible offer if this takes anyone's fancy?
Huge thanks to Sylvia for the help with getting my photos up.
Thanks everyone,
Will
