Wow! They exist!
Surely that's pure unobtainium right there?

Re: here it is !
Interesting to see that it doesn't have air con. I always assumed that the celebs were partly a way of emptying the parts bins filled with the optional extras that hadn't been sold, so presumably they were really using up the last few bits for the 'SE's. Nice to see one, and if it really is one of the last ones made then I hope someone responsible saves it.

The seller has said that he will be 'financially favourable' if the buyer mentions being a club member - he'd like to see it saved as well.

Re: here it is !
As I have said before there was never a SE. Some V5s do wrongly call the car this but as Eye of Ra says the bootlid badge looks to say ES.
There was a 480 brochure for 1995 during which year all 3 normal models were in production - S,ES and Turbo. The 480 models still appeared in 1995 price lists and, I am pretty sure but on holiday so cannot check right now, that for 1996.
Collections and Celebrations came off the production line as run-out models but Celebrations were not necessarily the last 480s produced.
So sorry, but in my view although this might be one of the last built 480s, there is nothing special about it. It is simply a quite good looking 1995 480ES.
