Nice wheels on the first one (and nicer parking)

Spotted this 244 DL parked in Edinburgh on Saturday. It's got a pearl white roof and later small bumpers

I think that's the one that "nightmaresracing" on the retro rides forum built. There's a build thread somewhere

While heading to the NI Volvo meet yesterday noticed a red late 70s early 80s 240 saloon heading in towards the Odessey Arena. Wonder if its anyone on here. Looked tidy from the brief glimpse i got. Unfortunately i was on the flyover and couldn't get a good look-see.

Unusual to see two in a car park at once but there was a primrose yellow 245 in Lostwithiel this afternoon. If I'd seen it sooner I would have parked beside it but I decided for Hollie's sake to park in a more shady place. Anyway the people were getting in as I walked past so I said to the driver, 'That's a very fine car you have there,' and she thanked me. I then pointed to the just visible Tors, so she realised why I'd made the comment!

A 'well trained gite guest' snapped this for me today . Spotted in Piriac sur Mer. Believed to be from Luxumbourg . 244 GLE. Apparently spotless inside and out, leather looked to have been re-furbed and it sound 'like new' when it pulled away.

Nice plate too!

It seems to be the same car, but the reg number is different


And Paul, the one your guest spotted does look excellent

This was spotted last week near the town of Glastonbury. It's a 77-78 LHD 242. Hard to judge the health of this vehicle - it looked ok though the sills were not in great shape.
