A super rare 200

Not mine, but spotted on US ebay; a 262GL.

Extremely unusual to see a 262 that's a saloon, not a 262C

looks like a 242 with 6cylinder

The car seems genuine to me. It has all the features of the factory 262GL, like this brochure shot (although the brochure photo is slightly later; different mirrors).

Even rarer is the 262GT. I'm not sure, but I think that was a 262GL with GT options fitted by the dealer.

It is!
Only 3392 were built. Only for north american market...

But (fasten seat belts!!)
more rare is THIS:

This is a genuine, super-rare 242 "California"! Only available in CA, only in a tiny amount!

Amazing cars!A big thankyou to all those who posted them for me to drool over.
I did notice the red 242DL has had a bit to much silver or grey sprayed underneath and I think I spotted a bit of red overspray inside the boot lid,The bit at the bottom with the holes in?
Still shouldn't knock him as without people like this these wonderful cars could end up as bangers and any 240 that fetches loads of money can only help raise the 240 profile and more desirable.Which equals more value.

Off to have another look,Must resist!Anyone fancy a road trip out to see them.Would be nice to turn up in good old blighty with these rare models.

Many Thanks Brian.
