Bring a Trailer (BaT) currently has a Volvo 480 up for auction on its website:
I added a comment that I had photographed a 480ES in the spring of 1987, in the VCNA HQ parking lot in Rockleigh, NJ. This is that photo:
I will add to this story after the BaT auction ends.

Hi Dan, thanks for your comment. You are correct, in that this was a European market only car, although the North American market toyed with the idea of importing it. My next blog post will tell the entire story of the Volvo 480. Best, Richard
