Some primers are porous and not rainproof, fine if you live in California (it never rains according to a song I heard)

Oh yes, it's got to be a 2K epoxy type product to be worth bothering with (for this application, at least).

Yeah most are except for epoxy. One reason why epoxy is great for us home bodger's, you can leave it in epoxy primer for as long as you want without worrying it will rust or absorb moisture. I like epoxy mastics for direct to metal as they are very surface tolerant. If you get a good clean key it's never coming off and if you make sure you get the minimum film thickness you don't have to worry about rust coming through ever again. If you go to any decent paint shop now who do classics they all use epoxy now, if not go elsewhere.

Car itself is probably immaculate, might be concours, neither of which make it worth over £4k. No-one is going to pay more than that for a non-historic 244, no matter how perfect. See: Every advert for 240 Saloons ever. |

I think the GLE spec came a bit later, in 1984 but not sure on that - i do remember being disappointed it only had a 4 cylinder engine as tradional Volvo nomenclature until then (as far as i was aware at the time) was the middle digit denoted number of cylinders. The GLT definitely had L-Jetronic injection from the start though, i had an A reg 360GLT about 25 years back and that was L-Jet. Will be interesting to see what you can find on launch dates etc, see if i've remembered it even somewhat correctly!
