It outlived the 7, which was made from 1984 until 1992, and was made alongside the 9, which was introduced in 1990 and ran on until 1998.

i am also intrigued by what looks like a very early snub nosed 240 in 'volvogriffs' picture #4, and is that also a Lambretta that I see lurking in the background? Great pictures!

Regards, John.

Hi John, I'll ask Dan who runs Volcars for more info on that old 240....
Regards, Andy

That's definitely an early 240 in picture 4, and there's another late model 240 in the fifth picture in the set. As for the peppermint green 240, that's a beautiful colour and one I had totally forgotten about.
