Calling All 480 Owners !!!!
Thought it would be a good idea to see how many 480 owners are using this VOC site and where you all are ...
Keep this thread going .. Maybe we could arrange a big meet sometime !! I'll start the thread ..... 480 TURBO - Auto - H Reg - White - 75,000 miles - Location Winchester

And 480 turbos , they must now be even more rare with the engines eagerly being searched for renault clios ... I used to do a boost kit which upped the power to 150 bhp ...

I agree ... When I sold my black 480 Turbo ( polished and cleaned again before selling ) the buyer said I shoudnt have bothered as he was scrapping the body, just wanted the Engine for a Renault 5 Turbo !
:-(

Hellloo!
480 GT owner here. There is just one other 480 in St Andrews, a white Celebration, the owner occasionally looks at the 480 club europe forum but judging by the amount of rust it may not have too long left... I also know of another 480, a L reg ES that lives near my parents, elderly couple owner from new, always garaged, looks pretty perfect! Anyway, my details: 480 GT (2L) - M Reg - Red/burgandy - 87,000 miles - Location St Andrews |

Plus one for the 480 turbo - lovely motors.
Mine's in birmingham, paris blue manual - 115k on the clock, recently acquired and being brought up to A1 mechanically over the next couple of months. She's in daily use along side her ancient cousin the 240GLT. |
