I know of the car and know the seller. He's a fastidious car collector and I'm certain the old car is quite something.

My thing is with these cars is this: what other classic car offers so much practicality at or around the asking price of this 145? A similarly aged Mercedes Estate, Citroen estate, Peugeot or whatever else are all significantly more valuable and - I know I'm biased - not as good! For sure a 240 is a better car to drive and at £12k, so is a new shape V70!

Based on how quickly a car that was nowhere near as good as this one sold recently that was not too far off this price plus a little haggling, I feel it is what it is.
