There's also Adam Harris' green 245... Can't remember what date, think it's '78.
![]() Plus this ![]() Sebastian Barber owns the '77 white 245. ![]() The green one was spotted again in September last year, owned by a painter and decorator bloke in London. ![]() This yellow one is local to Southampton as far as I know. Spotted at Shamrock Quay meet June 2015. ![]() Also ex-Justin Davies' S reg orange 245... Now sold to someone else, no clue who. ![]() A chap named 'Tim' owns this lot... Adomas Cyzas knows him. ![]() That's all the early ones I know... Trawled through the 240 Facebook group. |

Can we extend this to 265's? Some research - OK from here and the facebook group and How Many Left - seems to indicate that mine is the only 1978 265 GLE left, and there are no earlier ones left at all - can this be right?
Actually "How Many Left" says there are no 1978 265 GLE's registered, just one on SORN - which of course is wrong as I know of at least one registered and on the road and in my garage!! Anyway, any earlier 264/5's known about on the road still with the 2.7L engine in place? Thanks all,

The green 244 is a Lincoln registered car (P from August 1975 to July 1976).

Very nice too, Bristol registered - I do like these big bumper cars.

That green one is pretty close to me in London, I haven't spotted it myself but it lives somewhere in the Hackney/Victoria park/London fields area. Shall keep an eye out
![]() The White 245 pictured above (Xhm 288t) is mine, but it's a 1978 not 1977. S. |

GEH967N first reg 15 January 1975. Taxed to Jan '17 and MOT to NOV '16. Looks like a good candidate for the earliest as of today.

I am sure that one has changed hands a few times in recent years or is it another one that has had the paint attacked by a muppet?
