240 wagons hold a special place in my heart. Congrats dude, take care of it and it'll take care of you for many years to come.

thanks,

when i first bought it i wasnt too impressed (my dad was always into volvos so thats why i got one) plus i do starship miles on the motorways.

but driving it around whilst my mk2 escort was getting fixed up i started to like it.

i love it now. absolutely great car and takes anythign i throw at it! (including offroading today:rofl: ) sorry but it was so tempting!

i dont plan to be selling it as its just so much fun!:)


(all i need now is some TB stickers.but been in the uk i dont know who to contact about postage over here)

Offroading 245s is one of my favorite passtimes. They seem to do it well, I used to do it often enough that I carried a shovel and tyre-chains with me for when I get stuck in the mud!

Thats a very nice 245, so clean so well kept so keep it that way. The only problem is that the drivers seat is on the wrong side. I am glad to see your dog like it. :)

the gay carpet its to protect the boot from sand and sea water:lol:

the front seats are knackered. the mechanism is broke so they lean into the centre.

there are a few scrtaches and blebs on the body but nothing major:cool:

thanks for the nice comments

Welcome from another UK member!

As for stickers, there was something said about ordering a set. I'll chase it up. How many you looking for?
