I work in Norwich, but I haven't seen any of those. I did see a brown 244 BOO 222X which I'm sure was on sale on eBay a few months ago on the inner ring road near Halfords just before Christmas.

If you see a white 240 estate G805 SPP it's my car that my friend Oliver is babysitting for me - he lives in Norwich. Go say hi or give him a wave.

Default F-reg (blue?) 240 saloon in Leigh, Manchester

F-reg (blue?) 240 saloon in Leigh, Manchester.

Was emerging from a side street in Leigh this lunchtime and got a wave from a fellow Volvo owner who looked surprised to see another 240 in town.

Returned the wave. Was it a forum member?

Hi rusty that was me.

I was on my way to work and I thought at the time ' now who was it on the forum who gave me that address off St Helens Rd and was his dark blue'.

Thought I might see a spotted on here.

I actually wondered whether there would be two spotted because my Mrs. was coming into Leigh soon after me same route in her 240 and your paths could have crossed seeing the direction you were turning.
