Last Sunday a white H-reg saloon came out of the Ford car-boot sale near Littlehampton around lunchtime, whereas on Monday a nice-looking Torslanda estate was on the A23 just north of Gatwick Airport - I was in the bus next to it at the lights.
Anybody on here?

Today.

Nice silver H reg 240 GL on Morrison's car park in Leigh at about 19:00.

Could have been H549 or similar.

Very mint looking white GL estate on the m62 last Sunday heading west. Kids in the back were very well trained on 240 spotting as they couldnt contain their excitement as i came past in the grey GLT

Also white torslanda in York yesterday in traffic queuing around the city walls in the centre

Red estate spotted between Shrewsbury and Much Wenlock on the A458 on Friday 21st April. Easy to spot with that many stickers I was in the 240 GL going the other way.

Saloon could have been mine. I have a dark blue F-reg GLT in Walkley. Estate could have been my uncle's too maybe, although it's silver and quite tatty.

The saloon was crossing Howard Road, would have driven past my red 240 SE estate, which was hidden from view behind tall gates

I've seen that one a few times then, was it parked up without an engine in at one time? or maybe with a lump of concrete in the boot? I recall the front end was very high.

Nope, not the 240. I had a dark blue 144 for a few years previously. Often had quite a lot in the boot of that!
