Volvo 480 Club Europe

Have to agree, the wheelbase looks too short on that "F40"....maybe F stands for Fake?

Wishing a wonderful and fulfilling new year for all 480 owners past, present and future!

Keep the flag flying for those wedges!!


You all rock!!


Rohan

Great Sally, another year taken care of!

Hope you are well too.

I remember Rohan (VDG) had some interesting finds? That is true! 1st ever 480 Turbo- found cans of Slim-fast in the boot. :lol: Bloke I bought it from did look a bit heavy. Last 480 Turbo I bought- was changing the drivers side window motor only to discover that: A- there was no motor, just a block...

Was fun trying to get out!

I am not regretting the change to my Saab one bit. That said, I do miss the 480. My current car is probably one of the most over-engineered production designs (partly responsible I think for Saab having to be sold to GM due to huge costs) and it makes me even more aware how flimsily put together the...

Been meaning to put this up for a week or so and keep forgetting: Volvo 480S, black. fairly good condition, minimal bubbling on arches. L reg (not sure if this one is 93 or 94). 1 lady owner from new. I believe it has tax and mot. Although it is an S I had a quick look inside and it seems to have an...

Was it a GT Owen?
Seem to recall there is one like that I see sometimes- being in the Saab I can't wave either!

Hope you have a great day Andrew!

Could well be duff voltage regulator on the alternator, cheap to replace.

Yeah, dump valve and takeaway delivery car....wrong, just wrong!

I was sorry to hear of the way your car had declined somewhat after you sold her Dan.....maybe someone can pick up the gauntlet and keep this beautiful 480 going.
Maybe Roo should buy it, then he'll have three white ones!

Its amazing really because on paper the 2 litre looks underpowered but most owners don't really seem to find this.

Someone really has to supercharge a 2 litre- its well overdue!
Obviously much harder to tune than the Turbo but I hope someone rises to the challenge.

I shall see what I can do matey!
And Happy Birthday when it comes!

Whatever that shit is that you've taken, can you send me some?

Hi, search hasn't turned up anything so far but I still have a few more boxes to look through so stay tuned.

Rohan

Hi, I may have one but I'll have to look about. I'll let you know....

Yeah, that sounds familiar!

............or, you could buy a rotton 480 turbo (theres loads of them), pull the engine out and put it in a renault 5!!! :D Then spank all ya mates in thier expensive cars. steve You don't need a car to spank your mates, merely a whip! :D :D John, you were far too forthcoming there. And why have I...

Then spank all ya mates in thier expensive cars. John is right- surely the bedroom is the right place for that (more space)? ;) Erm, Hi Jaine, since you like cars with a bit of go, get a 480 Turbo, chip it, and run that around- lots of fun and as Murf says probably a bit quicker than the Williams f...
