Description

This 1994 Volvo 480 ES was purchased by the vendor from the 1st registered keeper, who was an elderly lady who he knew through a friend.

He has owned the car for the past 5 years, and has recently completed works to improve the vehicle, including a new clutch, new timing belt, new auxiliary belt and a full service.

This car has completed very little mileage, but unfortunately the speedo stopped working prior to being SORN'd a few years ago.

The car runs and drives extremely well and has benefited from being dry stored over its ownership.

A good starter classic at a very low reserve.
