The Newtown Garage in Chester has a dark-blue G-plate 245 in its yard/forecourt with the bonnet ajar. I don't know if was a customer's car or one they were prepping for sale.

Briefly saw a saloon parked up in the Shieldfield area of Newcastle last Thursday night. No details as I was on my way to the pub and hence in a hurry. Someone local?

Saw a nice blue 240 GLT Saloon on the Halesowen bypass heading to Kidderminster Wednesday night. Couldn't tell if it was on multi-spokes or Virgo's but looked nice, and had some rather bright LED sidelights aswell.

Also good to see the back of his slides on those islands as much as mine does!!

Saw J reg GLT silver estate today with at least one wheel trim missing on the A2 going from Dover. Quite a recognisable one as it was a left hand drive!

A lovely looking blue estate on the road from Bodmin to Lostwithiel, had a cheery wave but all too quick to see any detail. I've not seen it before so maybe someone on holiday.

Two in the space of a week!

Huddersfield ring road next to the marina - I was waiting at the red light and a red 240 (I think DL because I think it had steels and beauty rings, but it was dark) saloon came round the corner to the equivalent red light on the other side of the road. both wound down our windows and both gave each other the thumbs up and shouted "nice car!" haha

Second one was a silver torslanda parked up in oulton that ive not seen there before, but I pass there regularly.

I was out in my white 240 estate yesterday afternoon in Maryhill in Glasgow and spotted a smart looking red one coming the other way.

Waves were exchanged.

I caught a fleeting glimpse of what looked to be an immaculate red saloon on the main road just beside Homebase in Bracknell last Friday, the traffic was fairly heavy but managed a quick wave. First saloon Ive seen for ages.

Yesterday, again in Bracknell, saw a nice looking white estate in Halfords car park. Didnt wave as I was driving the wifes Polo. It was a D reg and looked to be in great condition - other then rust stains coming from the bottom corners of the windscreen on both sides.

Hello,
Finally, today, in Glasgow, it's been months! In an apt place too.
A mere 32k on the clock. This machine is mint. Even had two tax discs, one a retro '83.
I hope the owner is ok with me posting a picture, I just had to get one, this is truly lovely. Genuinely even better in the steel, every inch mint.
Enjoy!
Cheers

What a fabulous looking car. Am I imagining it or is the grill less slopey than later models?
