as i said it was previously white, as you can see from the fotos the tailgate has been handpainted green and the sides below the windows are white, so if it is the original colour then its had new full sides put on and a new tailgate???

The telly is so rubbish..and i"m trying to stay out of the pub..(losing battle)..One of my friends has given me a load of dvd"s to watch with lots of hot tea with sugar!..I watched "misfits" and spotted a very nice white estate in i think the second episode..and i watched a japanese film called.."pyrokinesis"..and a really beautiful example exploded in an underground car park..240"S in the orient..pretty cool...not for the motor though!..hj.

Strange how you seem to spot them on tv, the old buses seem to have been used quite a lot and are cropping up all over the place. seems the 240 is having a revival!

I was watching a Samantha Morton film, called 'Expired' ...I almost had until a 240 with a xmas tree on top drove past:

I love using Tor2 to bring home the family Christmas tree. Wasn't able to this year as it was off the road over Xmas. Next year I might make up for it by getting 2.

...and then there is the short movie VOLVO, which features a Volvo in a significant role!

mmmmmmm.... Takes me back. After owning old blue for 22 years I stopped at a local store today, parked on the road lay-by outside and went in to get a few things. Horrible wet, cold and miserable day. And when I came out I thought for an instant wow, that's a nice looking motor before I realised it was mine. Looked purposeful and a real treat. The blue never seems to show the dirt that much, particularly in the wet, when it glistens.

Cheers

I recently noticed this great reason to watch a movie:
"
Tell No One ( Ne le dis à personne )
Other reasons to watch it:

* Kristin Scott Thomas is in it acting in French.
* He drives a big Volvo.
* Jeff Buckley is in the soundtrack. ( so are U2 but we can gloss over that )"

Sorry to drag this thread up from the mud again but ..check out this battered bus in "crank 2"...blinding example of the 240!!..(nice wheel trim..singular though!)...cheers hj.
