Volvo 240's in the UK
Do they ever pop up for sale?
Quite fancy one for a next project, though they seem very thin on the ground. Anyone on here have one ? J |

Loads all the time. Check out autotrader, gumtree and ebay.
Have you posted in the right section? Should this not be in the 240 section? |

Plenty around, though not as many as there were a few years ago. prices have gone up too, expect to pay £500-£800 for a runner with MOT/tax but some work to do, and the upper end is up for debate - a few months ago I'd have said £1500 for a pristine one, but I've seen a few go for over £2000 now.
Plenty in the 240 section to read, and a fair few modded ones about though the owners tend to be fairly quiet. I'd recommend a 240 GLT if you want to keep it N/A, or a 1991+ GL, SE or Torslanda if you want to go for turbo power.

Why do you say the Torslanda for turbo power? Just curious...because I have a Torslanda which will eventually be turbo'd! Is that just due to the lack of gadgets to complicate matters?

At a guess I would imagine using a torslanda due to it's age and possible having the correct wiring and ecu?
Just a guess mind. Regards Brian. |

Yup, 1991+ 240s have the LH2.4 engine management, which is the same as a 940 turbo so the wiring for a turbo engine swap is already in place with minimal modifications needed. 1991+ trim levels were GL, SE and Torslanda only, the other trim levels were dropped for the last few years of production.
