I was wondering about the setting of that photo, indeed all the dealer's offerings are set in different places, which also seems a bit odd (to me). I'm wondering if the dealer is some sort of agent that sells vehicles on behalf of clients?

A short intermission with some cheap Volvos:

FKM363Y 245 Kent 300 notes start price auction:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255780905215
20+ yrs 'resting'
And

A222TYP 244 Essex 500ono
https://www.classiccarsforsale.co.uk/volvo/240/339423
5 yrs 'resting'

Normal service will be resumed shortly with more vastly overvalued dealer tat.

Perhaps someone will buy them (either of them) and we'll see them advertised as 'one owner from new low mileage classics' for £7,000 in a few weeks!

ULEZ pt2 is going to land in 11 months time. I predict a tsunami of 240s hitting the classifieds over the coming year, we'll be spoilt for choice.

Remember, no salt on the roads in London, makes a huge difference to longevity. Low mileage too, although suspension shot from speed bumps.

Just got to find me a barn somewhere...

And another cheap one, Windsor 600 quid. GLT wheels and leather, we can overlook the comprehensive* MOT fail and endemic tinworm.

* How bad does it have to be for the tester to fail it four times on emissions items...?

Perhaps the ones from Richmond will be 'Barnes finds'?

I don't have a D Phil and like Dr Phil "I don't have a horse in this race".
Anyhow, I would hazard a guess they could be for export to here, where anything of a certain age (30 years) qualifies for "vintage" tax of 56 euro.
So, a basic model from 92 or earlier would easily sell here for around 7k.
A Wiley dealer/punter could make a tidy profit by flipping it quickly across the sea.
