Smart looking white D-reg 240 estate (with hubcaps!) this morning, Crompton Way, Bolton. Oldest I've seen for a while.

Very tidy red GLT estate on the M40 near J6 at 1915 yesterday. It looked to be enjoying the run!

Blue H reg GLT estate and silver Torslanda seen today in Preston Park, Brighton
Very clean and smart Red Torslanda in Nottingham last Friday, and yellow X reg saloon again in Preston Park which i've seen a couple of times...No other car of this vintage is so obsequious.

as there's so many seen and few members admitting they are theirs i guess there's a hell of a lot of Volvo drivers who haven't found this excellent site yet.

perhaps if the club makes up a downloadable credit card sized advert members could print off we could pop them behind the wipers of those stationary ones we spot and get more members to the forum and perhaps funds to those that host it in club fees

Now that's a sound idea - up for this!

As a passenger being driven from Brighton to Cornwall last Monday I had plenty of time to look around and remarked that we'd seen no 240s at all. Then, on the A30 just past Exeter there was a very smart looking white estate towing a trailer. Generally they do seem to be a bit of a rarity though.
