BUT, having had 121s, 240s, 740s, 940s and V70s there is a void. Been looking for a 240 saloon for awhile as a toy/hobby. It will have to be a very good one because I can no longer do any major stuff. That's why I ridded both my old Land Rovers.
This thread dealing with prices is very interesting. I've seen a 61k 87,
GL in Wimbledon for £7995 and also a very similar offering in Wellingborough for the same money.
These aren't selling so I guess they are way too dear! Correct?

How about this one:

The story about being in a garage in Spain for 17 years sounds just about plausible. In that case it probably won't have any rust, but probably will need a bit of mechanical re-commissioning. The price looks okay.

The bit about not having the V5 is a bit lame - the fault of those Swansea civil servants who want to work from their kitchen tables forever :-)

PS. The speedo not working (honest guv, it just broke last week) story is a bit suspicious - coupled with the lack of any MoT record and a 17 year gap in the motor car's history. I suppose someone may have disconnected the speedo drive (I think electrical from the back axle of that model?) 17 years ago and it has really covered 370,000 miles.
