Well I've bought another 240. Maybe not a PH car but I love them. It's a GLT saloon, B230E so the non-cat one and it goes suprisingly well in comparison to a 2litre lambda sond one. Just goten rid of the small amounts of rust on the sills and arches and treated the leather seats to some leather conditioner and its looking like a quality old man mobile. Good old RWD live rear axle horse and cart style fun, although it does have a panhard rod and trailing arms so doesnt axle tramp. It does however even though the bushes are relativley new feel like your rolling allong on pillows.














maybe too many pictures. sorry

cheers, I did have a Torslanda estate your right. It however met an unfortunate end cry At least this one as of yesterday is free of rust the other had a bit on the tailgate. I'd like to put a B230FT engine in it from a 760 turbo but if im honest it wont hapen for another few months at least.

Hi, I have had a lot of Volvo's including a P1800es for 8 years, but my favorite was a 240 GLT estate. I hope you enjoy yours.
