Today I received the introduction book of the 480 ES. It is sold brandnew for 35 Euro's incl. delivery in the Netherlands at www.wilpac.nl.

The book is really nice, and I think the price is fair. (compare: the Dutch 480 register sells it for 60 Euros to non-members)

To prevent being blamed for any harm:

The above mentioned site doesn't belong to me, nor do I take any responsibility for what so ever.

The message is just intended to show a nice offer (in my eyes).

Dragon, I'm sorry for you. What is a 480 Hardback book? Or did you mean the same as I was talking about?

Ahhh, it arrived today - a hardback book simply entitled "Volvo 480 ES" - It is a book Volvo produced to introduce the 480 and explain it's styling, it's form, its body, it's engine, suspension, drive chain, internals, computer, seats - in fact everything about the car (in a marketting manner - it's not a tech book) - 104 full colour pages, with several fold outs of our beloved car - I've only got half way through, but I am very pleased with it

I've had a couple of questions about this book, so I've taken a few choice pictures to whet your interest

Hi Gaz,

That book looks superb. Can you let us have any reference to it ie a publisher or part number. I would really like a copy.

Regards

Chris

Unfortunately, presumaby because it's published by Volvo themselves, there are no identifying marks like a year, or ISBN - just an address on the very last page:

Volvo Car BV
Advertising, Sales and Product
Promotion Dept
PO Box 1015
5700 MC Holland
The NetherLands
Tel + 31492050505

It must be old, as it only mentions ES, no mention to a turbo flavour, or even a 2.0 litre - it seems to be from the very start of the era that brought us all together here...

Yes, it is the Volvo 480 Introduction Book from 1985 or something, so the turbo didn't exist back then... But a great book it is!

This is the book I was indeed talking about. I really like it as well. The website I mentioned is for Dutch copies only.
