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?
