turbo auto - eBay

Cleaned up the garage, found parts laying around, but it turned out to be a complete Volvo 480? If you want to sell your car (480 only) you can place an advert here.

Certainly gives me food for thought when it comes to selling Britney!

Going by the photos, apart from faded rear lights it looks a very nice example, could be a very good buy for someone, plenty of history and well cared for.

It's a lovely looking example.

We go down that way quite often since Lee's parents live nearby; if it's still there next time we go down I might take a look and report back... provided I can trust myself, of course :rofl:

Tell Lee's parents to move to Milton Keynes.

That way you can take a look at a much better example that you could have for half the price!

:lol: don't tempt me!!

Despite having been driving 480s (and at their time 440s and 460s) since the early 1990s, believe it or not I have still never even driven a Turbo, let alone owned one...

Sadly, with an other 480 Celeb on the way (more on that to follow soon) I really can't entertain Britney, much as I might like to!

Next meet we're at, we're going to fix that (the driving part, not the owning part!)
