Default 240 GL estate 1983

I have owned this car from new in 1983. It is silver green metallic with grey velour seating.

Mileage 114500 from new. B21A engine with manual gearbox.

Plenty of service/ parts receipts and a fully stamped service book.

11 month MOT, good tyres and exhaust.Battery changed recently.

Some rust spots, common with this period, around arches and front door sills.

The engine starts easily and runs very sweetly.

I live near Gloucester.

I would like offers please of £300 or more.gnk@talktalk.net

Strange question, but does this car visit Long Marston/Bidford on Avon at all? Ive seen a 245 identical to this driving round the area a few times. Not a million miles away from Gloucester.

That's a keeper. I've never seen a 200 with a grey dashboard
