Lovely looking car, why not 'GLT' the car you have, add alloys/leather, remove the 'Torslanda' stripes and you are halfway there !!

Good point Kev. Most of the external trim is GLT though the wheels would need to be swapped for Virgos (at least Im sure of that name). The interior might be more problematic though.........

Good idea and I know what you are all trying to say , but at the end of the day it will still be a torslanda .

The real GLt has 2.3 enginge , added gauges on some , lowered stiffer suspension setup .

To be honest why should I wreck a perfectly good example of a late 240 torslanda and install leather etc...............far easier to sell this one ( still havnt convinced the wife) and get a good glt estate .

Looks lovely! If it was mine I wouldn't sell it, but then I guess it depends how much you want a GLT and how scary your wife is!

Quite right Mike, it will never be a GLT. I was quite happy to fit Virgos to my GL and do a few other mods but it wasnt as pristine as yours looks and it is a workhorse. A GLT in similar condition to yours might cost a bit more though.

I do know what you mean about having one though - I couldnt settle until I did!
