Surely a 145 is going to be diff from a 240? diff suspension, steering, engine quite different?

Hi Morwenna
Yes I agree on prices, I suppose my ideal would be an Amazon estate, but prices for a very good one are, I’m afraid out of my wallets reach, and some projects are also going for several thousand.
My leaning to a 145 was probably driven by the more ‘classic’ 70’s appearance and mechanical/electrical simplicity, compared to my 940. In my mind, if the 145 driving experience isn’t a million miles different from a 740/940 then that’s quite a good thing.
Ones recently popped up on a well known online auction site currently a shade under £900, looks fairly complete, albeit needing a lot of bodywork.
