VOLVO 480 (1986-1996)沃尔沃480(1986-1996)
If you subscribe to the view that Volvos should look as if they were designed with a setsquare and a ruler, then the 480 series, launched in 1986, must have come as a huge shock.如果你同意这个说法富豪应从如同自己设计了setsquare和尺子那么480系列,1986年推出,必须面对的一个巨大冲击. This coupe-cum-estate harked back to the P1800, last seen in 1973, and offered a viable alternative to the GTi hatches that were in vogue in the mid Eighties.这采伐暨地产追溯到的p1800,最后被1973年并提出了可行的方法,但GTI舱口被盛行于八十年代中期. Although never highly renowned as a driver?s car, the 480 developed into a durable, well equipped and stylish car that offered the usual Volvo attributes of no-nonsense interior design and unimpeachable safety in a package that was a little sassier than the norm.虽然极负盛名的司机没?收盘车,发展成一个持久的480、装备精良、有气派,让平日沃尔沃轿车属性不尚空谈、室内设计一套安全无可指责心里有点sassier比正常. The 480 series may have represented quite a mental hurdle for many to overcome, but clear it they did, the model selling in respectable numbers.480系列可能是喝了很多克服心理障碍,但他们也明确表示,示范卖出像样号码. Finding a decent used example shouldn?t be difficult as long as you?re not buying at the bottom of the market.如发现不应当用一个象样?笔难以只要你?在不重新买底部市场.
HISTORY历史
The Volvo 480 didn?t have the easiest start to life, being originally designed way back in 1978 to replace the P1800.沃尔沃480的雾化?笔都容易开始人生原本早在一九七八年被取代p1800. ?Project E12??胚胎工程? was beset by difficulties and it wasn?t until 1985 that magazines started scooping what was to become the 480ES.它是困难重重.其余?到1985年,杂志开始掏笔什么是成为480es. The car made its official debut at the 1986 Geneva Motor Show, the project originally commencing in Gothenburg but then being unceremoniously shipped out to the Netherlands.汽车在1986年做出了正式亮相日内瓦汽车展该项目原计划在哥德堡狼狈但随即被运到荷兰. Rapidly facilitating the demise of Volvo?s erstwhile ?sporty?沃尔沃便利迅速消亡?收盘昔日?潇洒? hatch, the 360GLT, the 480ES sold in respectable numbers in the UK, despite the fact that its Renault derived 102bhp 1.7-litre engine wasn?t from the top drawer.舱口,360glt,480es尊敬号码出售在英国尽管其衍生雷诺102bhp1.7公升引擎.其余?笔从抽屉顶. A swifter 120bhp turbocharged version was introduced in December 1988 and a budget S version of the normally aspirated car followed in October 1991.有迅速120bhp增压版本于一九八八年十二月一版的正常预算收盘送气车1991年10月.
The biggest improvement in the car?s lifetime arrived in September 1992 with the fitment of a 2.0-litre 110bhp engine.最大的改进轿车?1992年9月到达的一生与车头一2.0公升110bhp发动机. A number of detail improvements were visited upon the car in September 1993, including the fitment of a driver?s airbag, seatbelt tensioners and side impact protection.详细参观了一些改进后的汽车1993年9月包括车头一位司机?收盘气囊、安全带张紧侧冲击和保护. A 2.0-litre GT limited edition version was introduced in June 1994 which enjoyed a three month production run, then being redesignated the SE.一个2.0公升燃气轮机限量版推出1994年6月,三月份生产的机型来说,那么改编的硒. A final 2.0-litre Celebration version was unveiled in May 1995.最后2.0公升版庆祝1995年5月揭幕. With a final production run of 480 cars, this model, with two-tone leather upholstery, a CD stereo, alloy wheels, air conditioning and a commemorative plaque is the car 480 collectors - and yes, they do exist - value above all others.最后一个生产480轿车而言,这种模式,两口气皮革座垫、立体声唱片、合金车轮空调、汽车480收藏纪念牌匾是--不错,他们确实存在价值高于一切. The cabriolet car shown at the 1990 Geneva Motor Show could well be the exception to that rule.车列在1990年的日内瓦cabriolet汽车展可以说是例外. Based on a 1986 design by Steenstra, this car sadly never made series production due to the bankruptcy of one of the tooling suppliers.根据1986年的steenstra设计、这一系列生产轿车可悲从未崩盘的模具供应商之一.
WHAT YOU GET 什么才叫 
The Volvo 480ES was, despite its troubled genesis, a fairly advanced car for its time.沃尔沃480es的是,尽管它的成因困扰,相当先进的轿车内. Even the earliest cars utilised modern composite materials for the front end, with side intrusion bars being fitted before many rivals.即使最早使用现代复合材料车前端,以方入侵之前,许多酒吧正在安装的对手. In fact the car exceeded crashworthiness test requirements by quite some margin.其实车耐撞测试要求超出了一段缘. A bonded windscreen, recessed windscreen wipers, illuminated door locks and follow-me home headlamps were also ideas some way ahead of their time.保税挡风玻璃,肚雨刮、发亮门锁和跟踪我家大灯也有些想法遥遥领先的时间.
The interior is a good deal more spacious than the three-door layout suggests, with a folding 50/50 rear bench and enough room for four adults.内政部是一个很好的协议更宽敞,比3门布局显示,50/50折叠后座有足够的空间和四名法官大人. A height adjustable steering column and multi-adjustable driver?s seat allowed for a comfortable driving position.高度可调督导专栏,多可调司机?舒适的座位让驾驶位置. A side effect of the front-wheel drive layout was excellent space in the boot.副作用的前轮驱动是好的空间布局的引导. This featured stowage bins in the side trim panels and a lockable central box between the rear seats.这个节目在一旁修剪装载箱板和箱锁环之间后座. A well in the boot floor could be used to keep valuables out of sight as could a retractable cover for the load bay.好一个行李箱地板可以用来放置贵重眼不见为掩护可伸缩负荷湾.
WHAT YOU PAY 您付出
Even the last of the 2.0-litre 480SE models shouldn?t harass you for more than £1,250, so we?re talking about very cheap cars here, with early models often selling for around £400 to £500.即使过去的2.0公升480se型号都不应该吗?笔骚扰你1250多英镑,所以我们?再谈到这里很便宜车,往往提前出售型号为500英镑至400英镑左右. What is therefore largely self evident is that you should buy/value on condition rather than chronological age.所以基本上是什么自明是你要购买/值条件而非岁数. A low mileage mint condition car may therefore stretch a little above £1,250 but don?t be taken in by those who are currently pitching the car as some sort of collector?s item.低里程车造币状况可能有点紧张,但鲍思高于1250英镑?笔再被那些正在帮着轿车作为某种收藏家?收盘项目. That status may well be some time off and will probably never arrive.这一地位可能过一段时间,就可能永远到达.
WHAT TO LOOK FOR 寻找什么
The 1.7-litre engines are notoriously rattly, especially at idle and most buyers will prefer the smoother 2.0-litre unit.1.7公升引擎rattly是出名,尤其在闲置、最喜欢的顺畅买家2.0公升单位. Early cars also had a system that linked the speed of the windscreen wipers to the car?s forward velocity but this often went haywire along with the electronic information centre.早期轿车还挂制度的雨刮速度来车?收盘前进速度,但这常常伴随着来到一片混乱,电子资讯中心. The pop up headlamps are also very prone to failure and those that do still work often squeal like a stuck pig upon operation.大灯流行起来也很容易失败,而那些做的工作还常常尖叫像贴在猪行动. Look for rust problems around the car?s sills and tailgate openings.围绕问题找锈车?收盘窗台和栏板开口. The seats are also not made from the most hardwearing materials.席位也没有从最hardwearing材料.
REPLACEMENT PARTS 替换零件
(based on a 1994 1.7 480 ex Vat) A clutch assembly will be around £140 and a new catalyst around £400.(1994年7月1日以前增值税480)离合器大会将围绕新催化剂和140英镑400英镑左右. An alternator should be close to £190 and a radiator around £175.一个发电机应接近190英镑和175英镑左右的散热器. A new tail lamp is around £65.新尾巴英镑左右灯65. A windscreen should be in the region of £115.车辆的挡风玻璃,应在该地区115英镑.
Servicing costs may well surprise you on later models, particularly if you still hold to the view that Volvos are expensive to maintain.服务费用以后你可能惊讶型号尤其是如果你还坚持认为富豪保持高昂. Where workshop visits once were required every six months, these need attention only once a year or every 10,000 miles, whichever comes sooner.那里曾经参观车间须每六个月这些需要注意一年只有一次或每10000英里为准快.
ON THE ROAD 在路上
Although none of the engines really had as much power as the sleek styling suggests, the 480 wasn?t a bad car to drive.虽然引擎真有这样大的权力作为造型轻巧的建议,480.其余?笔坏车开. The standard 1.7-litre car would top out at 110mph and get to 60mph in 9.3 seconds, which is by no means sluggish and the turbocharged model could knock another second off this figure.标准1.7-顶公升汽车将在9月3日在110mph搞清60mph秒这绝对不是呆滞和增压模式可另二客敲这个数字. The rear suspension was a somewhat primitive track beam axle on coil springs, so handling wasn?t particularly exciting, but roadholding limits were quite high.后方是悬浮轨道梁桥就有点原始线圈泉水,因此处理.其余?尤其令人振奋的笔,但roadholding限制相当高.
OVERALL 总体
Not outstanding in any key respect, the Volvo 480 series is nevertheless an interesting car and represents a period in the Swedish company?s history when it was in a period of rapid change.没有任何突出重点方面不过480系列的沃尔沃轿车,代表了一个有趣的时期,瑞典公司?据历史收盘时处于迅速变化. The later 2.0-litre engined cars are the ones to look for but if you just want a cheap car that stands out from the crowd without being too much of a liability, the 480 is tough to beat.后来2.0公升引擎的轿车是为公司寻找廉价但如果你想与众不同,车被太多的责任,480难打.
