BECAUSE IT'S LIKE YOU ARE SHOUTING ALL THE TIME AND IT'S CONSIDERED BAD ETIQUETTE!
Not sure I'd consider it an old relic, mine is my sensible modern car... It does look very smart though, lovely colour and it appears very straight. With the leather & alloys it's the full fat GLT by the way, not a GL (and they are only a 2.3). Mine is a bit of a shed but just keeps plodding on, fantastic things.

Slight tangent, but there's a 240 near me I've got my eye on (this one's much too far away). What should people look out for in an old 240 (apart from the obvious)? Any common rust areas/engine faults?

Worn bushes/linkages/joints really... Look for leaks in the engine bay too.....This one had a leaky oil cap would you believe where the cap overtime had worn and so when the engine was running over time (as to the naked eye you could not spot it at all) a tiny tiny tiny tiny tiny amount of oil was running onto the engine and down the side - looked alot worse than it was! Quick wash up and replaced oil cap and she's good as gold |

That's a really nice colour. Is it original paint?

Oh dear, well, yes lovely old barge this and getting quite rare! I drive a 240, I clearly don't have a lot of excitement in my life  When all's said and done it's means of saying "ooh look at my advert" and it just snowballs- person A does their ad in capitals so it stands out, person B then uses bold caps to make it stand out more than that... then you end up with the typical ebay advert with 3" high capitals in bright orange and your eyes have started to bleed by the end of the second line. Same thing happens with signatures, the mods on here do a cracking job of keeping such fuckwittery in check even if it can make it seem a bit draconian occasionally. |

Yes original colour - I thought that too - Gunmetal grey isn't it.
PHUQ yes understand mate - habit more than anything, I don't hide it, I have put it on Gumtree too and typed it all in capitals!
Ah well.......they're funny these things, worth more than a 2001 V70 with over 200k on the clock!!
Cheers,

nice looking old car, i think you'll find it's probably a 2.3 though. Would consider it if i was a bit closer. GLWTS -Matt |
