Stunning 240 estate

That being the case why would anyone pay nearly double for a wagon with all the various questions about its spec, identity and provenance? After all, if we believe what we read it was recently sold for 9 grand so what is wrong with it that it is so soon being hawked about with a change of identity at different, lower prices?

I saw that motor car advertised Familyman, it looks quite nice but it doesn't have a MoT (and from its MoT history it will need a bit of work to get a new one). Saying that, Rikvdib's motor car only has 3 weeks worth of MoT remaining.

The 240 advertised on these pages would need trailering away, which would be an added expense, but would probably be made quite a good car with a bit of effort, and £2,000 is probably a fair price.

I don't think anyone here seriously believes Rikvdub's motor car sold for £9,000 in August. I doubt that anyone thinks it is wort £5,500 or £4,850 either. £3,000 is probably close to its real value.

Best wishes,
