Was the story line about the case being thrown out of court, because everyone knows a passenger would survive that accident in a 240!

Columbo voice* "just one more thing sir. The lady had her seatbelt on, she must have been dead already, that car's a brick!"

According to DVLA the red 245 in 'Jonathan Creek' hasn't been taxed or declared SORN since November 1999, so it must have been scrapped. It had a 2.0l engine BTW.

I seem to remember seeing a 740/940 estate in 'My Life In Film', by Kris Marshall. Also, Alan Davies' character drove a volvo estate (possibly a 740 IIRC) in 'The Good Housekeeping Guide'.

New Sam Mendes film, Away We Go, (released summer just gone) has plenty of footage of a 200 series - think it's a 240. Great road movie, by the way.

Check the trailer out...
