Sadly i think you're right Alan but it would be foolish to not do those 600 miles to give the car a shake-down and then tighten it again before selling. Last thing he would want is a buyer taking him to court for a blown engine becauses of either timing belt failure or something else that could have been found on a proper shake-down.
There's a buyers guide on the 240 in the current issue of Practical Classics, think they have some "facts" wrong but i don't know the 240 in intimate detail to be sure about that. For example, they are quoting the 2316cc injection engine as 134bhp and electronic injection. Strange!
