480 ES for sale

stanley · Feb 10th, 2016, 12:25

My daughters car first registered in October 1993. MOT'd till mid May 2016.

There is corrosion in the front subframe and I did consider sourcing a better one and replacing it but realistically I don't have the time and she needs a car to commute to work.

Other than the subframe, the front offside wing has corrosion and the sunroof has a leak. Mechanically good, good alloys with good tyres, clean interior, pop up headlights working fine.

Looking for around £300.00 which would be a decent price for the spare parts it would offer. Car is in Glasgow, just contact me to view. It will be traded in or scrapped within the next fortnight as we do not have space to keep unfortunately.

We all should club together to save this car... I just don't have the space to store it.
Post some piccies and that might make someone take pity on it.
I loved them when they came out.
Same way I like the Reliant Scimitar and P1800ES, quirky estate are cool.

He pops in here every now and then, but maybe worthwhile posting up over there.

Here are some pics of the car. These were taken when we first bought it and do not show the corrosion on the wing which needs replaced.

ralnavman · Feb 11th, 2016, 18:49

Oh dear, I know these pics don't show the corrosion but if only you weren't so far away, I think I would have bought that, it's nice!! It's one I've really wanted

Oh, dear God.
I wish I had the space. I really do.

See my signature below. Needs updating, but that's the sort of situation I'm in

Go on...I can provide you with a nicely finished off Celebration leather interior to go in it!

You've already got a front spoiler you could re-spray - in fact, add on the cetus wheels and you'd pretty much have a Celeb lookalike!

I can't David.

The wife really would have my balls for it. She still doesn't know about the T4 project.
As much as I love 480s, I've grown rather attatched to my gentleman's vegetables over the years.

Best of luck with the sale though.
