[S] Volvo 480 Book

Cleaned up the garage and found some parts you want to sell? Or are you looking for that one part? You can advertise or request just about anything that has to do with the Volvo 480 in here: brochures, towing-hooks, antenna's, etc etc...

Which one is this then? I've been spending quite a bit on car memorabilia recently so may pass, but looks very interesting!

I do have quite a bit of memorabilia, do you think we ought to put together a club shared drive where we can maybe scan the pages of all these rare books and brochures so there is a central reserve of all these resources? I'd happily contribute :D

There’s one in Swedish as well.
I got than one and inside mine there’s a card from Volvo thanking mr Sixten for visiting at the Geneva exception and participated in a Volvo 480 test drive.

Nice!!! I get the impression that the 480 was never really a big hit in Sweden?

I don’t have any sales numbers. But I think somewhere below 2000 cars?!. Today it’s a rare car here.

There might be UK versions in the stash of Volvo 480 Register. But the size is very hard for scanning, it's wider than A4.
