"Herd" of Volvo 240s
Just come back from walk up Meath Green Lane, north of Horley, Surrey where I came across several 240s parked next to a normally muddy farm access track. At least 6, with a pair of Jaguars and Mercs, all probably stacked there with tractor, and all probably gonna be banger-raced to death unfortunately. The easiest one to see is a formerly nice gunmetal-coloured 240GLT manual estate: not now though, as the roof and windscreen have been stove-in by probably a falling tree.
Thought I'd look for owner there today as I assume he works weekdays, but no. They've been there for ages but normally very muddy there so not had a dry moment up till now: by a remote chance can anybody put me in touch with the owners, as I'd be interested in buying parts he'll probably never need. There was no reply at the adjacent farm house when I knocked. Paul |

As nice again today took another walk...... Nope, none had registration plates on them. However, they have all been there at least a year as I go that way frequently and have seen the most prominent car, a Jaguar on top of a 240 for at least two years now.
Still nobody about, but it is a Thursday mid-afternoon.... Will knock at a nearby house next time, where a 740 estate has been languishing in the garden for ages - might be coincidence.... P |
