Weird that there’s no pics of the near side

 

[S-JM]

That Yaris can't come soon enough

 

[Matthew]

What colour did the wingmirrors use to be? 😂

And why does it have a bendy tailpipe?

Thats the lacquer peel side!

Factory pipe that. Amazing to think that all this car can be had for one months mini or Yaris payment. The more I think about it, the more I doubt I’ll be following through with the Yaris deal!

 

[Matthew]

Nooo don’t back out now! Ha

 

[leeds_182]

Nooo don’t back out now! Ha

I’ve still got 8-9 months to talk my self out of it. The challenge will be not backing out I think but we shall see.

 

[leeds_182]

MOT passed!

 

[Krarl]

Nice one on the mates rates MOT @bashracing 👀😂

I want to know the heroic testers name.

It was a genuine test! He said he was impressed with my exhaust repair.

Just seen Guy Martin towing this on a flat bed.

Thought it would be up your street.

Im trying to buy a 240 but the seller is proving to be something of a challenge.

 

[Matthew]

Is it just me that can’t tell one of these from another? You mention a few numbers here and there, but is there actually any difference? 😂

240, 740 and 940 are my favourites. All designed with a ruler.

 

[Matthew]

Are they just random number, or do they mean something? Ha.

 

[Louis]

It's how much they're worth

 

[leeds_182]

It’s a model number.

Bit like how you like to call yous a F56 JCW where to everyone else it’s a ‘mini’.

This is in an old school indy volvo place near me, what a beauty!! I’m also I the process of trying to acquire a 240 wagon that’s sat for a few years (but last MOT was decent and it’s been under a car porch all the time!)

 

[Krarl]

Imaging being that stupid you don't know what a Volvo 940 is especially when you're 35+ years old🤦‍♂️😂

Do it!!

 

[Panda.]

Do it!!

I have no contact details except an address, and it’s in the Lake District so I’m writing to them 🤣 seems apt for a 31 year old car!

 

[leeds_182]

SOLD.

 

[leeds_182]

Didn’t work out too bad in the end.

Purchase price - £500

Courier - £195

Mot - £50

Sale price £1200

Profit taking off some other expenditure - £400

Not bad considering I didn’t go fetch it or anything like that.

 

[Krarl]

Fucksake Jim you made out like you'd paid a grand for that the way you banged in about losing kesh😂

When it turned up I thought £500 was too much.

 

[Big Toe]

When it turned up I thought £5 was too much.

That’s better

 

[leeds_182]

Off she goes!

One of these for your next Volvo Jim

Had this in today, 1987 F16

 

[massiveCoRbyn]

Don't see many of those anymore! Is he still using it commercially, or is it just a showpiece?

Everything in the 80s was cool.

The 240 should be coming on Thursday.

That makes my dick tingle!

Yard near me still uses an FL16 as a shunter. Only reason it ain't on the road is because of the stupid tax, it's not allowed anywhere near a city centre and they just can't get parts for it 😂 They've got an N1020 and a couple of Scammels for shows

Guy driving it looks “interesting”.

Unless that’s you? In which case, nothing to see here...

Did he make it to his destination??

I’m assuming he did it at night because he’s massively overweight and thought the dark may hide him?? 😂
