Hi,
Best of luck finding a 242 in the UK.
Ben O Brien (a user on here) had a rhd converted 242 for sale in Ireland a while back, more of a project than a minter but as I recall it's a solid car.
Are you bothered about RHD?
If not, you'll find 2 doors for sale in Europe... e.g this fairly good round-headlight 242DL on mobile.de

If you want a factory RHD 242, you need to think about importing from Australia. If you are serious about that option, I have an expert old-Volvo contact there (who owns a not-for-sale 242GT).
Cheers
John
