Well stranger things have been known.
Could be sat in a nice comfy garage just waiting to be found.
How come you didn't spot the blue 340 that the sons walked past with the window cleaning barrow just shortly after. index number WDO741X although this could be a bit wrong as no such index found.
Regards Brian.

I must confess I stopped watching after the cars parted. Thanks for spotting. That 345 is almost identical to Sion's, but probably gone also now, (but it did last longer):

Woopee Goldberg drives a 240 GLT estate in the 1996 film Bogus.......the missus was watching it tonight and happened to notice it when she was searching for the young lad in the park.............

Red estate on tonights top gear near the end of the programme discussing the end of saab and swedish cars

One of the main reasons I bought a 240 is because Steve Coogan drives one in The Parole Officer (one of the best British films of all time imho):

(OK so it might be a 245, but still...)

Just been watching a few episodes of Grimm, not sure if it is on UK TV, I don't own a TV and have been watching it online.

It is filmed in Portland, Oregon and it is crawling with 240s.

Unfortunately in episode 5 the occupant of a nice silver 245 gets eaten by rats...

240 used in' forever young' staring mel gibson and a 245 used in the ghost film 'the sixth sense' and I think a 200 used in 'fatal attraction' with michael?
