Default Blue J reg SE Estate .... Chafford Hundreds

This morning. Followed a blue J reg 2.0 SE estate in to Sainsburys's car park, Chafford Hundreds, near Lakeside shopping centre. So I parked next to it and the driver smiled. Each of us said, you don't see many of these nowadays.

He's had the car from new. It has been Volvo dealer maintained. I would describe it as immaculate. He's a club member but doesn't usually look at the website. I have of course recommended the forum for great information.

If you are the owner of that car reading this, I was very pleased to meet you.

Red 240 estate in Badsey in the queue of traffic due to a broken down lorry. I think it may have been a torslanda.

late blue 240 estate in Teddington which had made the long trek from Chigwell - lady driver was the owner and had been from new. Her stead was in well-used and obviously much loved condition

Always a pleasure to chat with a fellow 240 driver

Nice looking metallic blue GLT saloon in Malin Bridge, Sheffield today - couldn't catch the registration as I drove past. This is the 7th unique 240 I have seen in Sheffield this year, not including my own, and seeing them in use makes me very happy.

Lovely Condition H-reg Silver 240 Estate in Withybush Hospital in Haverfordwest, West Wales.
I didn't see it myself but a friend snapped a picture and sent it to me.

At just after midday today a nice-looking dark blue H-reg 240 estate was heading south down the main Cowfold - Henfield road in W. Sussex, indicating right towards Partridge Green. I was in a borrowed 340 today but I reckon this is the same car I waved at in Steyning a few months back, when I was in my also-dark blue 240 estate: that car is currently SORNd as the clutch went before Christmas.....

Obviously an appreciative owner - PM me if you read this as I've recently bought lots of S/H parts for 240s, and based on the coast.

Just seen a nice red 240 gl estate parked on road in Newton Abbot.

Also in services on M5 on the way down here Friday, a lovely Blue H reg, I had a good look at that one as we walked past, that was nice!

I was heading out of Cheltenham towards the legendary "Air Balloon" and saw two examples of Gothenburg's finest parked in separate driveways: a "G"-plate 240GL estate and a 78/79 model 244 yesterday morning.
