wanted: front armrest/cupholder

Cleaned up the garage and found some parts you want to sell? Or are you looking for that one part? You can advertise or request just about anything that has to do with the Volvo 480 in here: brochures, towing-hooks, antenna's, etc etc...

They are not as uncommon as you might think. Keep a close eye on ebay and you might get lucky. Don't expect it to be cheap though!

Hi Nick,
Are you still looking for the armrest/cupholder? If so, I have one fitted in my Green 1994 480GT. I want to replace it with the original front centre armrest/console for this particular year & model - just as soon as I can find a decent one that is. Let me know if you're interested and I'll keep you informed Nick.
Regards,
Nigel.

for the right price i could be! the cupholder bit is just the lid so if ive read what your wrote correctly you want to change for standard? i have a spares car with the normal console in it...

Hello

I had one but sold it on ebay.
It was uncomfortable to change the gears with cups on it.
As I remember from brochures, it was recommended for automatic gearboxes.

Hi again Nick, Yes, I meant the cushioned lid - not the whole console, sorry.
It's all in good working order and doesn't have any marks - burns, scratches, etc...
I'll check it over in the morning and take some photos and upload them to PhotoBucket.
Cheers, Nigel.

Hi Nick,
Very sorry for not putting up the photo's for my armrest/cupholder. Have had some urgent matters to deal with today and will be busy for a few days. I will get them up asap for you.
Sincerely,
Nigel.
