You're more likely to see a 240 in the car park than on the show field. Regardless of our opinions they are still considered a bit new for classic car shows. Doesn't help that the average punter doesn't realise that they started building them in 1975! An end of build date of 1993 does make them seem quite new......

I regard my 1992 SE as a "Modern Classic". Not the same thing at all as a classic.

I woul feel differently about a 144 or a round headlamp 244.
