Well it's been a while so! As I was sat here getting my highscore back on solitair I glanced up at the tv to see a very nice dark coloured 240 estate.Not sure what colour or any other info but it's in a film called "In the bedroom" BBC 1.Looks a bit deep but a high school graduate falls for an older woman.Typical american storyline.
Regards Brian.

Same Purpleish 240 estate appears in background of Golden Eye in a couple of scenes. Watched it a few nights ago,I'd had a few so am not totally sure of any of the previous facts!

I watched "The Lives of Others" on holiday. The 200 in it is a long-wheelbase saloon. I think it's one of the stange "264-with-a-4cyl engine" that were built for East European VIPs. (Some people were more equal than others)

sex and drugs and rock and roll - the film about ian dury. his wife drives (and crashes) a blue 240 estate, and 5 minutes later, his girlfriend is in a red estate.
