Actually doesn't look in too bad a condition; wonder what the "real" price is? I'm guessing it's someone taking a chance on getting a high price.

I don't understand people like this. Why can't they spend £50 and go for an MOT if they are so confident?
It does look good. The wheels look nice with fresh bright silver. The prettiest 480s I've have ever owned have been the silver ones.
Hope the engine is managing more than the quoted 75bhp! Maybe means kW?

Or this
https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C986778
Bought from here not long ago for slightly less
https://online.handh.co.uk/m/lot-detai ... 3Fpage%3D3
And reading the note at the bottom it’s all a bit worrying, the chassis number quoted makes it a 1986 not 87 and without a Vin plate to prove it it could not be registered (in this country) making it a rather expensive spares car.
