Yesterday at a roundabout on the A259 west of Worthing a K-reg 240 estate joined in front of me. A very faded shade of red and I think wearing Torslanda alloy wheels, I was the light blue Volvo 164 waiting to join in the early knocking-off hour traffic.

Have just driven back from Worthing up the A24 from my sons and saw a red 240 estate on the back of a recovery truck heading south near Horsham.
It looked a bit grubby but otherwise complete - I am fearful it might be heading for that race track....

Yesterday afternoon driving from Wareham towards Blandford met a 240 saloon, a bit of a rarity nowadays I suspect. It was on a sharpish bend (I think on the B3075) so caught slightly off-guard and couldn't give more than a passing glance toward the driver, no time for a wave or headlight flash! It was good to see another 240, haven't come across one for months, where are they all?

Last Thursday spotted a G-reg 240 estate in silver and with a long roof rack, parked on double yellow lines in Shoreham, Sussex! Reg PMW I believe (I was on a passing bus) - was that you? Promise I won't grass on you!

Randomly met two guys (brothers in law) with a lovely silver K reg Torslanda and a blue 245 DL on a C last week in Fordingbridge...I was there to buy a MK1 V70XC from their Dad/Dad in law!

Also spied a silver Torslanda on a J plate next door to my stepsons' primary school in Evershot in Dorset. Looks very well loved and looked after.

Just seen a very nice looking dark red/maroon coffin nosed estate on a Y registration heading towards Lytham.

I was in my blue saloon and we just noticed each other at a roundabout too late to wave.

Registration was something like XBV ..Y.

Anyone on here?
