Well here's some tat from t'other end of the spectrum, hidden deep in ebay:
Late 80's 245, £650 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255563637278 Another junker, more wrong than right, wheels worth more than the rest, £950 (and listed under Fords): https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/275338413796 |

As for what appears to be a 240GLT in the second link, he thinks the carb needs sorting out? Yeah, ok, whatever!

It will be interesting to see what happens with this one Andrew. It looks like a perfectly good motor car with a bit of rust here and there. I rather suspect someone will complain that the motor car has not ben MoT tested since it was 40 years old (although I'd say it doesn't matter one iota - but that is just my opinion).
If the auction doesn't get any bids, or it only just goes above £4,000 then we will know that the softening in prices we have seen in newer 240s has extended to historic vehicles as well. If it makes over £6,000 then the market will have told us the historic vehicle premium is still strong. We'll see nest week :-). Alan

The carb may actually be the problem! Especially as it won't fit the injection manifold.

One of my friends has done a huge amount of work to a late 80s 245 to turn it into an early car...partly for fun (that's the irrational part, I suppose), but on a more practical level because it's really hard work finding one that's actually any good in the first place. I think he bought and scrapped at least one early 245 with endless hidden rust before giving up and converting a later car. There were definitely 'bad eras' for 240s...some of the early cars rusted like hell, and they also seemed bad circa 1985. There was a similar issue with rusty gutters on very late 145s - doesn't affect the older cars. I'm a staggering number of man hours (both my own, and those I've paid for) into the restoration of my 164, so this is not my first rodeo, either! The things we do for love...! cheers James
