Hello .... thanks for the link, do you know if that will fit a 240, the add states; 740/940/960 .... which look to be a bit bigger than a 240 ....

It would be useful if the forum had a "compatibility" section that held data on what accessories for one model fit others, together with key dimensions for each model (such as luggage area floor dims for each model (mats), pitch across roof between gutters (roof racks), width behind rear seats (for load covers) etc,

A good idea....
The compatability conundrum had me pulling my hair out and dreaming about alternators... I wanted a spare one, as the original is a bit suspect; I'm still searching....
I'm taking a different tack now, as I now need quite a few pieces; aerial...internal trim.... alternator... roof rack... passenger window....and so on.... My idea is to find a 240 estate, at a breakers yard....which is near complete...and do as much as I can in one hit.... I have a willing partner, who is good with spanners, that always speeds things up... Even if I have to make a bit of drive...having the donar car onhand, with lots of parts should make the transfer easier and cut down on the searching. One other thing stupid me forgot about; the 240 saloon has a lot of compatable parts with the 240 estate.... duhhh.... ! |

Can the search be widened??
Lateral thinking-wise, yes, saloons, but also I'm wondering how many 740 parts, for example, fit 240s- they were contemporary after all (740s being the intended replacement with lukewarm reception, hence the extended 240 production years....I await the ire of 740 enthusiasts on that).
The front floor mats on my newly acquired '85 "fully restored" 240 ("trays", as often referred to) are not properly fitting 240 ones- they're near enough, but don't follow the foot-well profile at the back, so what are they from?? Mine is this one- the video is worth a watch... https://classicsworld.co.uk/guides/v...-buyers-guide/ There must me expertise on here for this type of thing...
