240 donor car wanted in Holland?

Basicly a GLT inj. engine with automatc gearbox is what I'm after.
But if any of you guys are driving a 240 due to be scrapped becouse of rust please feel free to make me a proposal to drive it to Holland. Most eficient would be that I take you back to whichever farry you want across the coast of NL/BE/Northern Fr.

So if you fancy a trip to holland with some refunds for he tripcosts please let me know..

240 GL auto being offered on here by 1owner is about 60 or 70 miles along M62 from Hull / Rotterdam ferry. Car is a 2.3 litre carb auto, has done only 50k miles. The car is legally roadworthy until December.

I think you'd need to fetch the car yourself as the owner is hanging up his driving gloves, but from what I saw of the car, the engine, autobox and running gear are in very good order.

Cheers

Regretfully the engine is the B230K type. This carb type of engine is much too complicated for me.
The mentioned glt engine will be a replacement for the B21E and older BW55 driveline in my 1979 GLE.

Very Very Nice

It just goes to show you how a looked after example should look!! James.

Hi steve, If you want these wheels soooo desperately. Why not pop in and collect them whilst getting me a set of virgo's and if necessary you can leave the car on top of them also with me...

Steve: Did you see my PM?

That's a very nice looking car.

It looks like a 265 but without the wheelarch chrome trims. Does your car have its original front panels? In the UK I think that front end would have been fitted only to a 265; a 245 GLE would have had a flat bonnet (hood) like this

Also, those wheels were optional on the 264/5. I don't know whether they were available factory fitted on the 244/5 in the UK.

It's a nice idea to swap in the later engine and gearbox. Are you not tempted to put in a turbo engine & auto box from a 7/9 series?

Cheers

John
