The 240 is a good choice (I have the ’88 2Ltr Estate) couldn’t be easier to service as it is free of complications like computers- micro switches- engine management systems that have to plugged in or done by the garage: ~ parts are reasonable & most things can be repaired at home. As mentioned in other posts you will have an appreciating asset if that is what you want. Fuel costs are all relative but if serviced correctly and driven wisely then you go with style at reasonable costs! Buy the best you can- sooner than later- I have had mine for about three years now and prices have moved up in a short space of time. All told a recommended vehicle that should tick most if not all the boxes you require, Good Luck. Bob
