your volvos atleast have the good engines, not french ones 😂🕹

What? What do you mean “worth loads”? Where I live, these are dirt cheap, I mean they’re rare, but just so cheap. My dad had a 480 that just sat in our driveway for 15 years, he didn’t keep it because it was valuable, he just kept it because it had gotten to the point where it was impossible to move, he did eventually get rid of it. And now it’s been scrapped :(

@@Pekkett In good condition they will be worth a bit to the right person as so few are left in good condition. Most either got scraped during the days of Scrappage Scheme or have been left to rot on the driveway.

Hi I think you need to register here first then navigate to the forum: www.volvo-480-europe.org/index.php There are about 5 or 6 ‘R’ cars in the queue at the moment. They are done by 2-3 people outside of their own cars and full-time jobs so it depends if you’re in a hurry… Always ask for support and opinions on cars you see. Many members will happily pop along to see a car for you if it’s quite far from you. R9, a 2L Paris blue ES is likely to be next ready I think. The idea is for the members (who know the absolute best for the car) work on them to bring them up to scratch mechanically (lots of obsolete parts supplied from members’ own stock) MOT’d then they are sold on for a reasonable price for the buyer to complete any cosmetic work. R9 needs a clutch so that will be getting done when spring comes along. Update from DC on this post about it. www.volvo-480-europe.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=36829 I have seen R9 as it lived near me but had been garaged a while and once it’s sorted by the team and cleaned up, it’ll be a nice car ready to go. I cannot emphasise enough the checks and work that goes into these R cars. All of the known niggles you will get on a 480 are already checked/repaired/replaced and there is always back up support in future from people who know the car inside out.

@@Edie_Fox oh paris blue is one of the ones i was quite drawn in by, however i dont have anything to put in the car data as i dont have one yet so i cant complete the form, also im not sure what a vin number kr icq number is, thank you for your reply it was very helpful

@@Edie_Fox otherwise i have no way to let the rescue group know if im interested, is no other platform that you guys speak on?

@@aaronmoore6090 @JeffLongley can you advise how to join forum or register interest in the rescues? 🙂

@@aaronmoore6090 there’s a Facebook group and the forum (my preference is the forum!)

Pfft

TFAYTA ? Are you nuts?

Blissful ignorance

Only? Right , Not only are you a troll, but you're not a very good one, advocating overpriced shite like a classic Ford :D

The Hausser kit? If any have survived, I believe they will be much loved and on a car. Outside of the UK. I’d say the only hope would be to have one manufactured. Probably at a cost of double a decent 480…. There was some recent talk of WR Composites making the spoilers but a lot of work required to make it fit. www.volvo-480-europe.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=36744&p=227564#p227564

I'll stop at nothing to get the plate I want 😆

@@Edie_Fox I have a few I can't live without either. They are awesome when they are just right... aren't they.

Can you remember the registration of the Paris? A member has just bought one and we know of around 1 or 2 more still in existence. It’d be good for the records. 🙂

Not even ugly tho
