1984 240 DL auto for sale

[capt jack]

This isn't mine, but I've been contacted by the owner of this 1984 240 DL saloon, and asked if I'd put a note about the car on here. He is looking to sell the car.

The car has the 2.1 litre engine and an automatic gearbox. Burgundy red coachwork. There are just under 112,000 miles on the clock.

I understood that the car's headgasket has failed, and it's possible that the head will need to be skimmed.

The MOT has just expired today, and so the purchaser will need to arrange collection.

The car is located in Northumberland.

Good 240s seem to be appreciating in value very well, with prices for some topping the £4000 mark. They are sturdy, well-engineered cars, generally very straightforward to work on, and overall an excellent DIY proposition.

The vendor's asking price is £1195. He tells me that the car is generally in pretty good shape, but of course it's currently off the road and undoubtedly needs some work. I've not seen the car and so a prospective purchaser will need to make arrangements to view. For someone searching for a 240 project this could well be worth a look. If you're interested please send me a PM and I'll put you in touch with the present owner.

Thanks

Cheers

Jack
