Some bodywork and welding skills required!

At £8,000 the seller must be smoking too much wacky baccy!

Wow! The price is reduced to £7,500 - I bet they will sell like hot cakes now :-)

"will need light resto for road use"
My definition must be out of date.

Ooft. That's some price for two broken old cars.

Otherwise I'd be genuinely interested in a 240 with a v8, even if it needed a lot of work.

I'd be cheaper just putting a v8 in my own car (1UZ anyone?)

Wow! The price is down to only £6,999 - there will be a queue forming out of the door soon :-)

Thinking about it, I would probably prefer something like the 5 cylinder 2.5 diesel from the V70 TDI. It would make the 240 a real daily driver car with plenty of oomph and very low running costs.

Wow! Only £4,999 (but that doesn't include the crappy 740/940 or whatever it was - maybe the seller got £600 for that?).

I still think the seller has been smoking the wacky baccy :-)
