Unhappy 480 celebration No. 269 For Sale

Hey All,

Due to changing personal circumstances, my 480 celebration, no. 269 of 480, is now for sale. Bought 5+ years ago, as a project/fun car, i've spent countless hours working on her, and a huge amount of money to make her presentable (don't we all). The following is taken from the Advert recently placed on Gumtree, the associated pictures can be forwarded by email if necessary:-

Great useable retro classic 1995 Volvo 480 Celebration in Flame Red Metallic

Mileage 142,500, Tax and MOT until end of March 2012

Great condition, no rusty wheel arches, everything works as it should, slight blow from the exhaust but nothing horrendous. Will come with full set of genuine fitted snow mats, 2 x Haynes Manual, replacement grille (2nd hand) and new front spoiler (bought last year at a cost of £70, but never prepared and fitted), plus rear wiper assembly (removed last year for cosmetic purposes).

Genuine reason for sale.

£800 OVNO

Please note, I will NOT entertain breaking the car, neither do I intend selling the spares seperately.

Let me know if anyone is interested.

Thanks

HI there.

Could be interested. I'm in one of the Northern Isles off Orkney, and looking for a second car. We don't need an MOT up here so no worries about that!

Any chance of some pics?

Cheers.

Tim.

hi there,
you've said you don't want to sell the spares separately but i'm desperate for a front spoiler for my car as i lost the one it had

by happy coincidence my celeb runs about aberdeen! and i live through here just now.

let me know if i'd be able to purchase it on its own

Nick

* BUMP *

Any takers?

May now consider swapping for a decent 440 (fully sorted, sub 100k miles, T&T).

Thanks

Default Celeb Price Drop

*BUMP - Again*

Having had very limited response, I am now amenable to reducing the asking price for my Celeb to £700 ovno, as the MOT runs out within the coming weeks.

Any takers?

Thanks

Hi,

Any interest in a deal for a '97 940 2.3 HPT manual estate in really good condition?

Oh, and any chance of some pics to mododaddy(at)hotmail(dot)co(dot)uk?
