Nice one, I'm heading over to the island in a week or so to spend a weekend near Cemaes, right near your neck of the woods...

Cemaes is very close to my dads place.

Give me a call when you are over, you are more than welcome to visit 240 land!

Whereabouts are you/your dad? 240 Land sounds like a very niche market weird theme park.

I'll be in Llanfairynghornwy, the land of no phone signal - bliss!

Is that Rhosgoch?! Not too far from us at Llanfairynghornwy...I love Anglesey, fantastic place. Been too long since I went, I'm looking forward to it, and a day out at 240 Land

I might have some bits for a 240 estate - I work in Warrington (leastways, my place of employment is there) so could drag them in to work if need be.

240 land as in my dads house with a few 240's about is in Rhosgoch. There are a number of photos on the net of otside the house with a nice row of Volvo's parked.

I live the other side of the island near Holyhead.

I'm most intrigued about your dad's place! Are there many 240 owners on the island? There used to be a wild Aussie in Llanfairynghornwy that had a blue 245 estate years ago, but it fell into sorry disrepair and was eventually used as a tool shed.

I think I remember seeing that one.

Not sure how many my dad has, 6 that I can think of and the 240 trailer. My brother has 2 GLT's and my 240 estate is no longer in use.

Others on the Island, there is a new forum member with a GLT and I do see a couple of others around. There used to be a heck of a lot of them about but the numbers are thinning.

I have checked the rear lamps I have and they look to be ok (no chips or cracks) just need a bit of a clean.
