A Car For The King? – A Volvo 480 Test Drive!

IIt’s not fast, it’s not flashy — but it is a Volvo 480. In the '80s, this wedge-shaped wonder was gifted to Denmark’s crown prince (now king), earning it the nickname “Prince Car.” Today, I got behind the wheel of one — a non-turbo 1.7 — that belongs to the actual mayor of Assens. What’s it like to drive? Surprisingly fun. Quirky pop-up headlights, digital dash, and just enough '80s charm to make you smile. A slow car with a royal past — and a local connection. Seaside Garage showcases relaxed, hands-on DIY repairs on overlooked 1980s–90s vehicles. Based in a small garage on the Danish coast, it’s all about practical fixes and thoughtful projects for machines with personality. Merch shop! https://seaside-garage-shop.fourthwal...
