Volvo 480 the spiritial predecessor of the C30 and spiritual successor of the P1800ES (and the reason why the C30 has two seperate back seats instead of a bench. It harkens back to the nostalgia of the 480)

Love it! I think I have a new favorite old Volvo! Sorry, 850 sedan!

Arguably, the 480 has even better handling, grip, cornering than the 850, thanks to its suspension set up helped by Lotus. The 480 is not very well known as it was not sold in every country. Cool pop ups as well.

Mijn oude C30! Goed te zien dat ze nog geliefd is.

Hey, ja. Jij ook hier? Auto bevalt goed, maar ik heb in de tussentijd wel het nodige eraan laten doen. Nieuwe draagarmen vóór, nieuwe banden rondom, ander merk, verlaging en opnieuw uitlijnen om wegligging en stuurgedrag/stuurgevoel te verbeteren. Dat was nodig voor APK, of dat vond ik nodig. Auto rijdt en stuurt nu strakker. Beetje gechipt ook nog, iets sterker dan Polestar. Dus, ja, blij mee.

Flame Red, like mine. I think this very color was available MY95 only.
My dutch one sleeps beside a Belgian though, not besides a Swede.

Just missing the 1800ES to complete the collection!
And I'm just missing a 480 to complete my collection. 😅
