Blue ES on eBay
Hi all,
There is a blue 480 ES on eBay which i'm thinking of bidding on - K502 BWL
Item no. 264284863037
Mrs has always wanted this colour, so looks a nice example.
Anyone know anything about it?
Any input would be appreciated. Body and interior looks very tidy. Engine a bit messy but nothing to dramatic.
Cheers.

Re: Blue ES on eBay
Don’t know the car, but like I said on Facebook, steering wheel and bootliner are desirable extras...
Definitely see it before bidding as I suspect there’s a high reserve; seems a trend at the moment

Re: Blue ES on eBay
Would like to take a look but too far away before auction ends.
Wish I had enquired about the E reg ES barn find in silver. Sold now but at least it's being restored.

Re: Blue ES on eBay
I was going to go view that one, a stones throw from me, but it was gone when I messaged the seller - it was in the colour I always wanted. I wonder who ended up with it?

Re: Blue ES on eBay
A guy on the 480uk Facebook forum for bought it. It looked in great condition under the dirt!
Thinking he might of got a bargain but don't know how much it cost.

Re: Blue ES on eBay
I feel like a real idiot now.
Should have bought it over the phone.
Real bargain at 250!

Re: Blue ES on eBay
as did I, but hey, I was too slow off the mark, now that I have a 480 I am no longer trawling for 480 stuff all day on all the major sites

Sold for £2250. Strong money but it was a very nice ES.

Re: Blue ES on eBay
There's been a surge of good 480's making strong money.... which is starting to bring a lot of projects out of barns.
Re: Blue ES on eBay
but I can not imagine a 480 ever reaching Capri price level, which I am happy about, for me the 480 symbolises the fact that you don't need to fork out megabucks for a great car, I hope it can stay that way

Re: Blue ES on eBay
I'd agree. The 480 is still fantastic value.
Everything 80s and now 90s seems to have gone through the roof recently, especially if it has a blue oval, so maybe the 480 is starting to move up.

I did forget to mention that it is a great car one can use everyday as well, so much more soul than a modern finance-deal-mobilezapcity wrote: ↑Tue Apr 23, 2019 7:18 pm
