NZ 240 Wagon

RetroRanger · Nov 22nd, 2020, 04:34

Hi

Just introducing myself on here as purchased my 240 about 2-3 months ago and getting it into condition to be a reliable daily.

I've already started raiding the local parts bins... so to speak but think as I go I might need the odd advice from offshore.

Anyway here is my ride. Bought with no mechanically inspection and just rolled over 3,000kms. I paid a lot in New Zealand for it $7,500 which is about $3,750 pound.

trying to add a photo but its not working?

Welcome.

It would be nice to see some photos of your motor car. Are you using an internet image hosting site to post your photos (that is a requirement, you can't paste them direct)? I use one called Imgur, which works fine and is free.

Welcome to the forum, I'm pleased you worked out the photo pasting piece (it is not all that intuitive - I agree).

It looks like you have bought a nice wagon (well, we would all say that - we all like our 20-40 year old 24Xs).

Best wishes,

Alan

Looks nice

Brings back memories of my 1989 GLT that I sold a few years ago. Mine was a workhorse though.
