Best of luck with parting out all the bits.
How many extra's has it got.
Antilock brakes?
Wierd interior lights?
Extra speakers in the rear doors?
I bet the relays are different to the norm or in different locations.
The paint and overall finish just didn't seem as robust on the K and L reg models.The only good condition ones are the really well looked after ones.What I mean is if they were a bit neglected then they detiariate beyond the norm very badly.The K reg I have is quite bad.Thin paint,all the door handles seem stiff and the paint in the engine bay is horrible.After cleaning it just looks dull and thin.And yet my old F reg is still better in most respects despite being rusted out.The door handles work fine as well.

I love a ramble oohps.
Regards Brian.
Blame environmentalists, car manufacturers had to move to water-based paint rather than solvent-based paint in the early 90s, and it doesn't last the same. the lacquer on my '93 240 has started to go over the winter, and the incredibly annoying thing is there's straight up nothing you can do about it other than a full respray, which is well out of the budget for most 240 owners.

Hello Chesh,

I would be interested in the radio, surround, and amp if it still has all the original gear? Thanks.

Hi, would love the air mass meter, mine's been shot for too long and it's time to fix it. How much posted to London? Will pm my email and address.

Thanks,

Mat

Thanks for the requests and the PM's

I will hopefully get to the car so i can answer your queries at the weekend, work has permitted me the time to stop by yet.


If i recall fairly well there is no load cover or luggage guard.

There is a 7 seat kit in the boot but i think its missing half its seatbelts.

Are there any cracks or holes in the headlights and are the reflectors still silver?!

How much for them posted to Devon?
