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.

Here in happy Heriot you will find

1994 480 ES AUTO 1998cc 150000? (parts)
1992 480 ES AUTO 1721cc 165000?
1988 480 ES MANUAL 1721cc 75000?
1994 480 SE AUTO 1998cc 93000? (should really be ES but the V5C states SE)

The mileages are estimates using the latest MOT figures.

If I keep this up I will be thinking about a local section!

I have a 1990 480 ES in 311 Lavendal Metallic. It has 128k.



I suppose this counts as well. A 1991 S I'm currently breaking.



I also have a 1966 121 Amazon............

Glasgowjim - Definitely holding the trophy for the most amount of 480's !
Very impressive ....

Glasgowjim, nice photos ....

Thank you all for posting ... Please keep the thread going and include photos if you can ...

Looks like we are spread out all over the U.K so arranging a local meet is impossible....

Maybe a central meet in say Meridan (near the NEC Birmingham) in the summer ?

Smile Celebration in Manchester

Hi Guys, Flame Red Celebration 467/480 here in Manchester, currently in need of one Cetus 5.5J wheel without tyre if anyone can help. Thanks to Glasgow Jim for pointing me in the direction of this Forum after the collapse of the 480 Forum.

What part of Manchester we talking about? Never seen a Celebration in my neck of the woods. There's a rough GT that trudges around Altrincham, and a two tone green \ silver ES on a K plate that I've seen on the A5103 and Chorlton.
