A wow turn of phrase sir.

The 240 is beginning to rise in price.

There are some very clean 700s around that will join that ascension.

Varient!!!!! .................

I parted with my Maxi writing the receipt as Sold As Scrap, when I bought my first Volvo, a T reg 244. I should never have sold that 244. The Maxi was incredibly tired and invisible but had served me very very very well indeed. A stolidly determined 1500 engine. Almost drove itself. Practicality that was "ideal for a man about to start a family".

The 245 will carry a single bed inside. The Maxi was two singles or one double bed inside depending on how one, utilised it.
