Doubler whammy over the weekend;
1/ Cannonball Fever (It was just on in the background, honest!) - 240 saloon over taken by a competitor.
2/ The Thomas Crown Affair (remake) - White 240 estate, behind Russo's character when she is on her way to the heliport.

Default 245DL in Smiley's People.

Watching an episode of Smiley's People (the John Le Carre BBC classic) with Alec Guinness. They are in Berne, Switzerland - several shots of the car (an orange 245DL, and interesting trim) including a driving sequence.

Bernard Hepton driving.

Classic programme.

Jon.

4 or 5 240 estates in a programme about the history of Breakfast TV I watched recently (Breakfast Wars?). The ITV faction even had one painted up in it's own colours!
