Madness - I know .
We've missed your informative and witty posts about the cars and your exploits too, Alan.

If I may ask, is there a reason that you are considering such a narrow choice of year and model? You have GAM, and another 240 would be more of the same, but perhaps that is what you are looking for to scratch the itch?

If you would like another Volvo, I can see you in an early (mid eighties) 7 series. Much the same simple mechanics as the 2 series cars with better corrosion resistance. Just different enough to be interesting and arguably a more refined driving experience. Well up to towing your beloved bikes and an estate would be a good back up for your Skoda.

Yes, I can definitely see you in a nice 7 / 9 series car!

Regards, John.
