Woe, woe, woe!
J221RJC is heading for the great 480ES retirement home in the sky on 21/3/2018 (next Wednesday). Health, wealth and lack of amenities mean I'm unable to fix. Anybody want the car as spares - send me a pm. Cost - train fare back from wherever I drive her or, if you collect, £1. No takers; then it’s the local scrap-yard! Last November I was hoping to buy another 480 but the deal fell through for some reason so, at the moment, it’s back to my other car - an 1800SST. If anybody has a, preferably auto, 480 for sale; I’m interested.
Otherwise it’s ‘cheerio’ from me to the Volvo 480 Club Europe and all you lovely people.
Best Regards
One for Spares?

Re: One for Spares?
So sorry to hear your sad news.
There's a couple of autos here
https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/list/102/480/
Advertised in February so might have sold now, but maybe worth a go.

Sad to hear your news Yorkievolvo - hopefully you'll find a new 480 soon!
Whereabouts are you? Depending on whether "Yorkie" refers to a chocolate bar or a part of the world I might be interested...
