i'll forgive becuase you're foreign, but it has pop up headlights, therefore you argument is rendered invalid.

 

[bozothenutter]

no it didn't...they never worked!

Mate has one of these.. Personally dont like it, but he loves it, he has 3 others he is ripping apart for spares...

His:




Spends more time like this..

 

[Rhauri]

Theyre a childhood favourite of mine, loved the way they looked when I was growing up!

Maybe badly built or whatever, but the design is fantastic and really encapsulates what we thought was 'futuristic' in the 80's!

Ahhh, Bonnet up to jump start other inferior cars.

What a nice chap.

 

[Hixle]

That dash is brilliant! Love it.

 

[Lal B3N]

Looks good in red. Mates that Tunst posted about has nothing but issues, and parts are a right b*****d to get hold of.

Looks like a block of cheese, it is quite cool though. Especially when only one headlight pops up when he flashes at you, looks like it is winking lol.

 

[Goodj]

Electrics made from binder string IIRC.

But, nonetheless, they are epic. Almost got one instead of the MX-3.... I probably took the cheaper option long-term

 

[JoedotwasT5phy]

There is literally nothing bad about the 480 you're all wrong (accept those that agree with me)
It had lotus designed suspension, with renault engines that had been tuned by porsche! where is the downside??

They look awful, and rot more than a sunken ship

They look great, and weight save as they get older.

Touché

 

[Addicted]

are these fwd or rwd?

This was what I wondered - if it's RWD it must be fun!

 

[coleman]

Mate had a 460, use to warm it up in the morning by bouncing it off the limiter for a while. We pulled the vacum pipe of the actuator and use to spend most of our time trying to dodge the boost cut.

Bought it for £100 with tax and test about 8 years ago.

Dreadful cars.

FWD, handle like a 1.2 Fiat Uno.

Look here Mr Jonny Neverpost. Volvo's are the chariots of God - show some respect. k?

20mpg, 110 brake now probs, its rubish, people only like them due to the headlights and "turbo" its crap!, buy a better car...

LOL - i already have a 2 Volvo's. i can get well over 20mpg in the 2.5 Turbo Auto.

 

[Goodj]

Just because they're not "scene" of the week, doesn't make them any less individual and awesome.

Find me one with leather and air con. Or just one with air con and the interior from a 2.0 GT... or, actually.

a 480 turbo wit hair con
a 480 2.0 for interior and breaking for spares.
and another 480 turbo for test-bedding the engine

20mpg is a bit of an exaggeration.

 

[Fletcher]

Awful cars.

 

[Sam@NP]

Absolute Lad wagon.

 

[bozothenutter]

you mean lotus took a look at it...and laughed their arse off..." we're never gonna put our name to THAT!""

I used to sell 850's at the same time though....now that was a car

 

[The Chubby Pirate]

[blburied]

I thought a few of these got engine raped for the head's? IIRC Didn't they get bolted onto the valver engine?

[The Chubby Pirate]
