bright red interior might be the most awesomely disgusting thing ever! Really nice, might drive you mental after a bit of siting in that though

oh yes I do indeed like red, its very r'n'r and ironic. a true daughter of the seventies. (many of these 244s have boring interior colours in my humble opinion)

she's identical to mine, actually, other than in better nick. and not LPG converted. and with some extremely rare rims (mine has coronas, they suit her beautifully I think) .

but they're asking for a ridiculous price though, as often on ebay

ps just noticed there's a bid on it, let's see how much it fetches

Oh hell, that's awesome. It's a good job I don't have £2000 or live anywhere near scotland.

I wish more of the 240s came with red interior, it's only the second time I've ever seen one. If I ever found a full red interior for my estate, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

They look like trims, not rims. Got steelies on, if you look closely at the front wing close-up.

Its amazing, it even has its origional mitchelin XZX tyres if u look closley at the tread patten, 32 years old! We changed them on my grandads car 4 years ago, at 53000 miles, not due to wear, but slight cracking. Shame they are not still available.

very true. still they don't impress me as the rest.

speaking of which, I have a question for you knowledgeable friends: this car has a pair of rear vintage sunblinds that I quite like. ditto for the red-at-the-back-white-at-the-front bumper strips. do you know where can I get both?

ciao, leonardo
