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.

1995 on the N reg Celebration with 100k for £1750.
- Pictures seem a bit....off... - why not take pictures of both rear arches, and not just the good side? Why take a picture of the back seats but not the front ones/dash and gauge cluster?
- Seller states that it could "possibly need a new driver's door" - which roughly translates to: "it absolutely needs a new driver's door". - my guess is the door has dropped.
- Will probably need most of the exhaust system replacing if the last MOT in 2013 is anything to go by.
Despite this, I can see a few good points:
- Can't quite remember its name, but that dark grey metallic colour is absolutely gorgeous and my personal favourite of the Celeb colours.
- Taillight lenses in pretty good shape
- The interior looks tidy, at least the parts pictured anyway.
While certain elements of this car/listing are dubious, I'd say it's a better buy than that GT that the seller couldn't even be bothered to chuck a bucket of water over before taking pictures.

The number plate (N550EBW) comes back as a 1995 Celebration, as well as being described as one in the description.
Further giveaways that it's a Celeb are:
- Badged as just '480' on the glass hatch
- Cetus wheels
- Ruched leather interior
- No moon roof
- Boot roller cover

Shows the inside of the 480 and the Celebration dashboard badge, but unfortunately not the number.
1995 Storm Grey Celebration reg N550EBW passed its last MOT 25th Jan 2013 on 102,966 miles.
Its not added any miles since then.
Cheers, Richard.

There is a listing just gone up for a storm grey Celebration being broken on eBay. Have reason to believe it's the same car.

Yup. Looks like they really know what they're doing with taking that lot on.
I thought it was all 'I know what've got'. It rapidly changed to 'I give up'.
I suppose it
could just be a listing for all the bits they're going to offload and not just breaking the celeb?....
