An A reg silver estate GLT in a drive in Crofton Road, Grays, Essex.

The person in the home said it was their son-in-law's and he doesn't use it.

Just seen a red Torslanda (I think) on Royal Hill in Greenwich. Lived round here for two years and this is the first I've seen, although today clearly made up for it - parked outside an antique shop and I think the owner was buying a Christmas tree to load on top, so about as Volvo as it gets.

Silver 240 saloon pulling into Asda in Malton, north Yorkshire about half 3 this afternoon.

I'd just dropped my 244 off at the bodyshop.

Living in the Malton area not seen many 240's for years, once upon a time it was crawling with them been a market town and local farmers towing huge trailers (just what they were designed for) before the advent of glorified Landies. Only know of one now a friend of mine with virtually the last of the straight bonnets so it could have been him in his silver reg no WWW5.

I didn't catch a glimpse of the reg number, just saw it as I drove past.

My 244 is currently at Jm Watson bodyshop in Norton getting the rear quarter panel replaced and I get all my 240s mot'd at Heritage Car Company.

Blue 244, T-reg, in the Gaer area of Newport this morning.

A bit of rust at the base of the rear wing behind the o/s/r wheel, but otherwise looked very tidy (as they say in these parts).

Silver F reg GL Estate in Kidderminster this afternoon. Old couple driving who gave me a wave. Garaged all it's life by the looks of it.
