I spotted two this afternoon in Kingston Upon Thames - within 10 minutes of each other!

A silver GLT estate parked behind County Hall and a few miles down the road from there a white Torslander pulling out of side road

I didn't get the chance to take any pics unfortunately

An A reg silver estate GLT in a drive in Crofton Road, Grays, Essex.

The person in the home said it was their son-in-law's and he doesn't use it.

Just seen a red Torslanda (I think) on Royal Hill in Greenwich. Lived round here for two years and this is the first I've seen, although today clearly made up for it - parked outside an antique shop and I think the owner was buying a Christmas tree to load on top, so about as Volvo as it gets.

Silver 240 saloon pulling into Asda in Malton, north Yorkshire about half 3 this afternoon.

I'd just dropped my 244 off at the bodyshop.

Thumbs up 240's in Malton North Yorkshire.

Living in the Malton area not seen many 240's for years, once upon a time it was crawling with them been a market town and local farmers towing huge trailers (just what they were designed for) before the advent of glorified Landies. Only know of one now a friend of mine with virtually the last of the straight bonnets so it could have been him in his silver reg no WWW5.
