Saw a white 240 Torslanda estate today. Going onto the A38 South near Burton On Trent, Morrisons Island. Late facelift rear window.

Not seen a 240 for a while.

James.

A nice "F-plate" silver estate has appeared in the last couple of days near me. I saw it yesterday on a driveway with a trolley jack under its front end. As I was on an essential journey (viz. to work) I couldn't stop to make enquiries about the car.

Yesterday afternoon on the A50 heading south-east at around 3:30; the Armco barrier meant I couldn't get any id but it was a late one.

Went for a run tonight and spotted a white K reg 240 GL estate parked up on someone’s drive. Looked a little scabby on the tailgate.

Spotted a lovely cream coloured 240 saloon parking at the branksome retail park in Bournemouth. Looked like a lady driving it, and looked spotless. Wheels were in very good nic. We were leaving in the car so couldn’t get a closer look.

Default LIverpool Torslanda

At the top end of the city centre this lunchtime - a silver or white Torslanda.
It's the first 240 I've seen this year.
