Saw nice gold 240 estate earlier on A491 heading towards Bromsgrove. I was heading opposite direction in the 760 and got nod off the driver, so must be an enthusiast.

A GL Estate twice in 2 days, both times forgot me phone/cam
Dark Blue, with a full metal roof rack, quite probably a D6 as most are over here. Oh got a big old wave 1st time as I was in my 240, yesterday I was in the 850 & he 'snubbed' me despite my wave, lol

I think mine must have some kind of cloaking device..............I drive almost the length of the UK from Wiltshire to Sutherland 5, 6 times a year. A round trip of 1250 miles each time and no one ever sees me
It's not like it's not conspicuous with full bespoke roofrack and big tyres! Dave A.

On a trip to Plymouth today from Redruth in Cornwall,in my wife's Torslanda, I spotted three different 240s!
First one was heading uphill east on the A30 dual carriageway towards the Padstow turning.That was a gleaming dark blue 240 Estate pulling a caravan.( I think it was 'E' reg.) Second one was parked in Plymouth Sainsburys car park,again dark blue.This was a saloon,I think it was 'C' reg. Third one was a silver estate, I spotted it way off on the other dual carriageway of the Plymouth bypass as I was heading home. Nice to see some 240s,I haven't seen one in this part of Cornwall for months! Chris. |

Yesterday we were parked quite close to an 850 estate and, sorry to boast, it really emphasised the elegant stylish lines of our Tors! Last edited by Angie; Sep 5th, 2012 at 21:09. |

Yesterday in the car park of a local DIY store, saw this saloon drive in:
It was a diesel........ was 'smokin' like a 3 badge stoker' to prove it too. I liked the 'boot rack' however the front offside wing had been damaged and the repair looked like it had been done with 'paper mash' & badly painted afterwards lol

Wow, I've never actually seen a 240 diesel in this country (chances are it's non-turbo diesel)! Looks a bit used and abused but hey, it's still going!
All D24's smoke, it's a design feature to keep BMW's further behind you!

A G reg. very dark colour (green?) going quite fast on the A390 through Lostwithiel this afternoon. By the lack of shiny bits I presume it was a GLT.
