I never knew they cared....

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...

A pretty comprehensive list, however that side profile of the 262c is extremely flattering, making it look like an 70's/80's reimagination of a p1800 coupe.

Alas, a much more awkward, slab sided shape in reality. For your viewing... pleasure(?): https://www.carandclassic.com/car/C1248219

My list would be:

1 - Volvo 240
2 - Volvo 850 T5-R
3 - Volvo 262C
4 - Volvo 780 Bertone
5 - Volvo 480
6 - Volvo 940
7 - Volvo C70 (1st gen)
8 - Volvo Amazon
9 - Volvo PV 544
10 - Volvo V70 (1st gen)

The only Volvo which I actively dislike is the 1st gen S80. Looked like a bloated version of the much better looking S60 and I've never been a fan of its pug nose front end. Apologies to those on here who own/have owned one :lol:

Especially ironic when you recall that when the C30 came out Clarkson, in his then guise as a Top Gear presenter, described the 480 as "awful"... :lol:

When you create a "top 9" of something, kind of implies they gave up finding 10 :lol:

Why is that stock image of a Cream Yellow T-5R on 16" GLT blade wheels? That should be on 17" Titans :dunno:
