Magic480Turbo from Volvo 480 Team Belgium managed to convince a local owner of the upmost importance for a bunch of Volvo 480 enthousiasts to see his privately owned Original Volvo built 480 Cabrio.
A date was set and yesterday afternoon was the moment that some 20 Volvo 480's gathered somewhere between Antwerp and Brussels to drive to the secret location where they could see the holy grail of all 480 enthousiasts IRL

Thanks Ronald for making the impossible possible

I managed to convince my eldest son to lend me his digicam in order to record this extraordinary event. I will put a selection of the pictures I took online at:

I started a thread on the UK based Volvo Owners Club aswell and a "Peter K L Milnes" wrote something very interesting for all you brits:
qte....
Take a trip to C.P.Motors at Polesworth (near J10 M42) and take a look at Colin's Blue convertible 480. It is not for sale but is a one-off (hand built conversion) complete with boot spoiler. I think that this one will have you all drooling at the mouth. I will try to get a picture or pictures for the gallery. Unfortunately I cannot do it quickley, so you will have to wait, unless someone goes up very soon.

All the best, Peter
.......unqte
Perhaps an idea for the next UK meet and greet.
For obvious reasons I would appreciate any picture(s) as taken from this hand built conversion one-off
