Re: how many 480's are left?
at manufacture 250 GT and 480 celebrations in UK.
Re: how many 480's are left?
thats not really what i'm asking, i wanted to know how many are left, and the breakdown of each model etc
according to the member statistics there are 4109 480's registered with the club - i suppose that might be fairly accurate as some won't be registered, and some of those on the list may have been scrapped
does anyone know how many paris editions were made? the club stats suggest 7 registered on here

My friend make small investigation. The result of this sniffing is information, that in Poland are registered 513 Volvo's 480 (until 30 September 2010 - information from Polish DVLA)

Re: how many 480's are left?
For the UK I did make an enquiry to the DVLA using the Freedom of Information act. However, they said they could not simply ‘search’ the number of cars on their system and the results would have to be collated manually which would require significant staff resources, something they are not required to do for a freedom of information request.

Re: how many 480's are left?
I live in a 80 cluster there are a few near me but it is still a rare event to pass one on the road that doesnt belong to a family member
Re: how many 480's are left?
i have a couple round my way, one black one white
i waved at the white one and the woman literally didn't notice... obviously not an enthusiast then lol

Thanks, but I'd want a Manual I'm afraid, love the colour though, I've just purchased a 2.0 in that colour.
Good luck with the sale.

Re: how many 480's are left?
what a very informative site, thanks for that - some interesting numbers there, thought there were supposed to be just 250 GT's made?

Re: how many 480's are left?
Presumably they took their figures from the DVLA who apparently recorded a load of ES's as GT's
