Ian, thanks for the kind comment. Do not be ashamed of having a liking for the 480. They are truly addictive. Try one, I did, then my wife 'snaffled' it! Can't keep her out of it now!
Regards.

These are the volvos that my Dad and grandparents had.
1st A brown 244 DL with the big bumpers. (Grandparents car) I loved that car as a child. It was like a tank. Dad had the same but with a black leather interior. Very nice as well. 2nd A 1985 C reg 340GL C159 BTA. had for nealy 6 years 3rd volvo a 1986 740GLE Estate D795 RJW. PX for Corolla. Out of all of the volvos we have had I liked my very first car the 740 and I also liked the 240 as compared to my estate the 240 saloon felt quicker and had a much nicer ride and had a far better plastic interior. In the future I will get a nice late model 940 estate. I still like reading the forums. James. |

At the moment i have a 1996 850 GLT T5
The last volvo was a 1989 740 GLT 2.3 16valve, 2001-2004. In 1981-85, i had the use of a volvo 164, that had been converted into a pickup, Maybe somebody remembers it in Torquay in the 80s, It was red with `EVANS AUTO PARTS` down both sides. |

I have a picture of that pickup on my files. My list of Volvos started with a 760 GLE Turbodiesel. That progressed to a 945 SE 2.4 (Turbodiesel), a 944 SE 2.4 (Turbodiesel), a 480 Turbo and a 480 ES, a 244 and a 164 (both gone to the scrapyard in the sky), a Volvo 66 (went to Germany on a trailer with Foggy). My latest additions are a 145 in excellent nick and a 145 in Yellow which belonged to the lead guitarist of the Trogs. The yellow one is a scrapper but the engine, gearbox, propshaft and rear axle will transfer to the White one as it is a manual setup, rather than the BW35 autobox at present in the White one.
I would be happy to reduce my "stock" and would like a home for the 480 Turbo (160,000 miles, needs door hinges for left hand door, and a bit of TLC on the left rear quarter as well as new rear lamp lenses and a small amount of welding) with new windscreen fitted and large glass electric sunroof. All the best, Peter. |
