Its very catching is this 240 bug. I aquired this one off the bay on Saturday. Collecting on Thursday. This makes it three in the fleet. I will probably moving the SE estate on shortly, MOT dependent.

It was what sold it to me. Having been in a silver/gray phase of 240s recently I felt like a total change. I think my favourite ever was a mustard yellow gas converted estate.
I hope to be grinning my way back down the M5 on Thursday.

Just looked out my front door:
240 Trailer
1985 Italian spec 244 GLE 2.0
1987 245 GLT
1972 144
1990 965
1989 244 GLT
1989 340 2.0
1990 245 DL 2.0
1981 244 turbo (parked on drive entrance)

It's the problems when the boys were "converted" at a young age and the girlfriend is also only allowed a Volvo. Only trouble is not all the locals are so Volvo friendly!

Mike

It's a bit infectious
