Description

Offered here is a 1987 Volvo 480 ES presented in White with a Black and Grey cloth interior.

The paintwork presents well, with only a few age-related imperfections and blemishes and 2 small corrosion bubbles on the roof.

Inside, the hard-wearing Black and Grey cloth interior is generally in good condition, pleasingly optioned with front heated seats, perfect for driving in the winter months.

This Volvo drives as it should, and benefits from passing its MOT at the end of September 2023 with no advisories.

A great classic daily driving, quirky, practical and cheap to run car.

It could be your next entrant into Hagerty’s Festival of the Unexceptional.

Please Note : This lot has an intermittent fault with the speedo and odometer
