It's apparently from Scotland and appears to have multiple "two-tone" areas of "cinnamon" and white instyead of plain white. If that's an indication of work needed, i'd suggest that while it's "modestly" priced, it will need a lot of work to get right.

For the whole time I've been involved with this forum (about 3 years I suppose) we have been hearing from people that think their 30 year old barn find will be worth £15,000 after a bit of a wipe down with a damp rag. I have a feeling those times may be over and £700 may become the norm again for this type of motor car. Just my thoughts of this lovely spring morn. :-)

That may well be the case Andrew. Quite a few folk have been trying to talk up the market for 30 year old 240s, I've never really been convinced high prices for 1990ish cars are justified.

It’s a bit like house values; is it a home or an investment. Of course it can be both!😀

Here's one to watch to test that theory:
Desirable spec (Manual, turbo, historic, wheels) but utterly tinwormed and siezed engine... so only worth the scrap unless you're a deluded maniac. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/403691684369 |

Quite right, couldn't see the pipework in the engine bay and seller does say it isn't siezed, but the rot, flat tyres and decrepitude made me read otherwise..

* £12k for a new MG shell, so it might be worth it for a P1800 but not a 240. |
