Default Volvo 240 Wanted - N.Ireland

Have been on the look out for a 240 here in Northern Ireland for a while now although they are few and far between. Don't mind going to the South either. If anyone knows of any please let me know. Preferably a 244 although would still be interested in a 245.

Let me know if you have/know of any.

Will keep an eye out for ya!

Followed a very clean red 240 Torslanda into Antrim last week.

When I say followed, I mean I overtook 3 cars to get a better look.

There's one that I used to see fairly regularly around Ballinderry, on the road between Moira and Nutt's Corner, up at the hardware/workwear place.

That's the one, sitting on cross-spoke wheels like the Torslanda had.

Met it on the roads in that area a few times, used to pass it on my way to worl every morning.

Cheers for the links. I do check donedeal every now and again. The southerners seem to ask quite a bit of dough for there volvos tho, anytime they show up in the north they are just north of scrap value.
