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

Re: [S] Volvo 480 Book
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

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.

Re: [S] Volvo 480 Book
Nice!!! I get the impression that the 480 was never really a big hit in Sweden?

Re: [S] Volvo 480 Book
I don’t have any sales numbers. But I think somewhere below 2000 cars?!. Today it’s a rare car here.

Re: [S] Volvo 480 Book
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.
