Great 480 Advert
I haven't seen this one before. Thought it was pretty cool!

Bloody brilliant! I do love it when they have a sense of humour. Any idea what year? Looks early to me

Re: Great 480 Advert
Great adverts - wonder if Volvo themselves have copies of them rather than paying £20 for a poorly scanned version?

Re: Great 480 Advert
The text refers to the "new" 480 Turbo so I'd guess it would be 88 or 89. It looks exactly like my old red Turbo.

Re: Great 480 Advert
I have another one from Vogue magazine which shows a RHD car next to the beach, presumably in the UK which I think must be one of the D*** CPV cars. I will scan it it in some day and post here

The Swedes do some very amusing advertising

Re: Great 480 Advert
Good ad indeed, particularly the 2nd pages do it.
after over 10 years parted with the 1995 Volvo 480 ES 2.0

Re: Great 480 Advert
I've done a lot of digging for this advert, and not had much luck. Volvo don't have it in their online Press Release archive so I am waiting to hear back from the archive that posted it to Alamy. Apparently they have it filed under 1990s so unless that's a mistake it's a bit later than we thought.
