I’m selling this one. It’s been used for TV and films for the past 3 years. Including DrWho.

Sorry if these have been mentioned

I watched Spider-Man far from home today and aunt May picks Peter up from the airport in a 240 saloon

And in the series Your Honour with Bryan Cranston, his son drives a 240 saloon

Most of the recent marvel films based on earth have a 240 in them somewhere. Someone is definitely choosing to put them in those movies!

Oh, and there have been many recent TV dramas that have varied Volvos in, latest just finished, was the slightly disturbing Ruth Wilson in BBC1 Woman In The Wall with her 940.

Cheers

It was planted to show that she was the sanest character in the whole brilliant portrayal!🧐
