Can you imagine back to the future but with a 480 instead of the delorean? It would not have made much of a film, cos they never would have got there - the speedo would not work so they would not know when they hit 88 MPH!

"what is the pulling power of a 480???" Any woman that knows anything about a 480 will run a mile as you will spend all your dosh on the 480 instead of her. Also Volvo's are considered less than sexy. However 480's are always mistook for reliant scimitars (they are identical ) and honda civics so yo...

I should imagine it would also depend on the discretion of any po-lice that you encounter, your alibi (check your story) how polite or agressive you are, also the state of the vehicle (tyres brakes etc), the "its a classic that i'm going to restore to prevent this amazing and individualistic vehicle...

As for driving with no tax/test, it is ok to move a car if it is going to an MOT or to be repaired for an MOT. You would all have to double check it before doing it but i have heard this a lot before. Book an MOT for £30, drive away today!! ;-) Alternatively come down, hire a garage or something,...

Footman James told me the car has to be older than 12 years to qualify for future classic insurance.

Hi Anton, they probably a cable with all of the moving of engine bits, most likley the cable that runs from the speedo sensor up from under the engine to under the battery plate.

Hope it holds up!
