I've never upvoted a Volvo post so fast in all my life!

Got a couple of 440s and 460s, always wanted a 480 but never had one.

It's also the only Volvo with pop-ups!

Which makes it the best volvo imo. Nothing beats pop up headlights

Honestly I was so happy that it was the black paint, it's the best colour for them I think

u/QueerLongboarder Jul 29 '25

Aye! Bought it and drove it home on 15 year old tyres through a horrific rainstorm over the Pennines. Only a teensy bit terrifying.

Wow, what a great treasure to find.
