240 General: Inherited a 240... Open to ideas

Many thanks for your replies and the information contained within them. I was also thinking low end of "top" or high of "middling", so almost 4k mark if I'm really lucky. As said above, whilst I would like to just sell to the right person rather than get the top price, circumstances are not being kind to us.

I would absolutely rather sell to someone who will love it and cherish it, rather than someone who will strip it for parts. I've spoken with my mother and that's her wish too and obviously I would want to honour that, so advertising on here first is probably the way to go. As you say, a group of like minded individuals is likely to be more honest than a random auto-trader sale.

The car is not "showroom perfect" but its really good condition and is obviously in fully running order. I recently drove it from Essex to Birmingham with no worries at all.

I'll have a think over the next week or so and make a decision.
