The following email was sent earlier this evening to everyone who registered for last weekends get together in Germany and the Netherlands. We have found that some of the previous emails have been filtered out into spam folders and it also contains early details of an event planned for 2 years time ...

Is this potentially of interest to anyone? Ellie's keen to meet other 480 owners as sadly she had to turn back in Belgium last Friday on the way to the European meeting due to steering problems. Duncan is in Basingstoke and has had his white 480 from new. He's keen too. I am in Fareham. So Wincheste...

I hope someone will put video footage online of the Q&A with the design team, there were some interesting anecdotes

We are working on getting it uploaded Robert

94 cars from Italy, Switzerland, Finland, Sweden, Belgium, France, the UK and of course Germany and the Netherlands. What a day! I have counted 96, including the red 480 Cabriolet and a guy from Belgium (who was about to travel on to take a flight to Canada) who arrived later. I am so happy I have ...

66 cars yesterday in Germany - including a few new ones, 1 from Poland!

A wonderful weekend. It was great to meet fellow 480 enthusiasts from France, Belgium, Italy, Finland, Sweden, the UK and of course Germany and the Netherlands

I am really looking forward to meeting many of the group members on Friday evening in Bruggen and in Eindhoven on Saturday! The weather forecast is wet at times over the weekend so do bring suitable clothing and coats etc with you. It's been typical May weather this week - beautiful warm days and th...

As long as you don't leave the motorway to enter Antwerp city centre or Scheldt left bank, you're good. The motorways around Antwerp more or less form the boundary. Scroll down on this page to see the map: https://www.slimnaarantwerpen.be/en/LEZ Good luck with the traffic jams, as they can be quite...

So does anyone know for sure if the low emissions zone around Antwerp applies or not? This is as clear as mud!

I soooo wish I could attend this. It's exactly why I bought the car, to attend events like this. Bloody kids and bloody exams! 🤬😡 Mine just said he wanted to come with me on Saturday 18th, despite being in the middle of his exams. It's Pentecost weekend, which is in The Netherlands followed by a ba...

Please check your emails - the last event email was sent out earlier this evening.

Tough to believe, but we have just gone past the 100 car sign up number.......it should be a great event! There will be one more email update communication going out to everyone who has already registered in the next 48 hours. Thijs, Jan and I look forward to meeting a lot of old and new 480 friends...

Yup! Don't ever expect the roller blind itself to repro'ed though!

That's a bridge too far!

Thanks Jeff - I seem to recall that you have repro'd the mounts?

So if this is fitted can it then be easily moved temporarily if you have to carry a large item in the boot with the rear seats down?

It's a pity Roy - unfortunately it's just not always possible to do these things. Life can just get in the way

Hi all - everyone registered for the event should have received an update email yesterday evening. Do please check your spam filters/junk mail folders as some of the previous emails sent on 12 March were filtered out. We do need some additional information from everyone attending, so do please check...

Just a quick update - we sent out a detailed event update via email on 12 March. We have been advised by a few people that it went to their spam/junk mail folders. Do please double check yours if you haven't seen the email yet and you have already registered for the event in May as the email contain...

Have drawn on the back of an envelope a graph of the numbers signed up so far each month and then drawn a line on wards until May. So I sort of calculate you will have 90 Volvo 480 owners signed to attend by May. Lets see over the coming few months if it plateaus off, keeps on its steady climb upwa...

For people considered travelling from the UK, Eurotunnel/Le Shuttle have just announced a 20% off deal if you book by 24th March and travel before the end of June.
