A scrap yard 1992 480 ES being sold for parts.

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...

'ow do ? looks like a black 1992 480 ES being sold for parts in Leomister.
Looked and its got no MOT record at all, so probably been there a while. Pre 2006 ?
You will need more than a Haynes manual to sort that one out.
Even a 480 in that condition in a scrap yard still looks magnificent, like how its sat on top of a SAAB.

the rear arches on that scrap one look better than most of the arches on cars for sale!

Think that it looks like the tax disc says 2005 - but me eyes aren't as good as they use to be.
As the bonnets open maybe some engine parts are missing or even that the whole engine has already been removed.

The Haynes manual on the front dash indicates that the last owner at least had some interest in their car.
Its the light blue 87-97 Haynes service manual.
Due to the interior photo being of the front of the car can only see two of the alloy wheels with tyres.

On the front K92KDM registration plate is says Body Right Cars HR1 1JS.
So maybe it was a local to the scrap yard. Bodyright is listed as a car dealer.
