The asking price is ridiculous.

Pre #350 body?

I don't think so, but I can't be 100% sure. However, the license plates are very early so it must have a very low chassis number, maybe not just that low. Still, it looks promising and interesting...

The asking price is ridiculous.

Someone has already made an offer of 3.000,00 euros!

It's high, but if the car is in really good condition I can imagine it. 1986 is the only 480-productionyear that will become tax-free in Holland, so compared with any other year you're saving about 320 euros a year. You can even install LPG and drive cheaply.

The fabric on the drivers chair seems OK, so probably by sacrificing a UK passenger chair in good nick you can have seats that look like new.

And to top it off: black with red striping is iconic

It takes ten years to earn the blatant price back saving on the tax.

Well, if you insist on a break even by not paying taxes... Take in consideration the fact that a 1986 is in a few years no worse investment than a 1995 model. In a few years it will all come down to the amount attention a 480 has had and not per se to the age of the car. A 1995 model may be in a far worse condition than a 1986 480.

It's cheaper, but you can immediately pay a fortune for getting the wheel arches treated.

That's another gold digger.
