My interest didn't materialize. The seller didn't seem interested in dropping from 1200 and I was nowhere near that value. The interior was good. Dash was cracked, but the rest was very low mileage looking. I would have loved to get that car, if it wasn't so rusty. All panels had rust. Plus mechanically it was a complete uncertainty and the seller seemed a bit shady.
The car is/was parked at a body shop. Had been for about a decade +/- depending who you ask. The owner of the shop and the seller's stories didn't quite match.
I still think of it often, but it wasn't a good deal. Plus in portugal it's hard to find parts for 240s. I would waste a fortune in body parts.
