Once again at the Beaulieu autojumble, but this one was spotted on the Sunday.

Carlo - did you attend Beaulieu both days? I usually put my 164 on the Volvo stand there but this year it was an 850 on Saturday and a 340 on Sunday. Did you see them - R338?
Interesting re 240s - were they stall-holders or were they in the car park? Did they have Volvo parts for sale? Were there many older Volvo bits for sale there this year? Last year the only older Volvo parts seller had no different Volvo stock from the previous year.

Yes, I attended both days as I had my Morris Minor Pick up in the "Moggyfest" display.

Yes, both the 240's were stallholders cars. The grey one was there both days on Green field and the White one was only there on the Sunday in the "Trunk traders" area which is a Sunday only thing. Neither were selling any Volvo parts though! The grey one is from the Ferndown, Dorset area as I often see it around.

I saw the Volvo stand there and half expected to see you again this year. They were busy when I passed so I carried on.

There were a fair few Volvo parts in the Sunday Trunk traders area. Snow mats a plenty (about 6-8 sets!) and a guy who had various parts for 240's and 340's from brochures to accessories such as a new old stock coin holder for a beige 240 1981 on according to its packet, amps gauge and housing and a pair of boxed "Volvo sound" speakers to suit the front footwells of a 340 according to the boxes. He also had a quantity of Driver magazines so obviously an ex member.

There were also various "time" clocks etc dotted around the stalls but very little for the 140's. All I picked up was a new old stock brake in-balance switch.

There were 3 new front wings for 140's there too though. A pair of late large indicator wings and a N/S earlier wing.

The only other things spotted were an Amazon steering wheel centre and some grille badges.

There was one seller there with a quantity of new old stock Volvo parts in their bags but I didn't recognise much so not 140 parts!

I walked around beaulieu this year and i spotted just a handfull of Volvo's (a 240 torslandia and 740 from traders and a 144). Have seen no other 240's around (other then mine that was parked on the general parking grassy patch)

*edit and no old volvo parts except for a volvo penta fuelgauge and a couple rear light lenses for amazons

Just caught sight of a white 240 Estate on the A38 westwards towards Liskeard. I only noticed as it came level so no chance for a wave or headlight flash.

Whilst I was cycling, I spotted a silver 240 saloon turning out of Crammaville Street in to Fairway in Grays, Thurrock, this evening. I spoke to the driver and suggested that he join the forum.
