Spotted this earlier about half a mile from my house. I was out for a play in the industrial estate and saw all the FWD French crap attempting the steep one way hill so joined in. No sweat at all. Sideways all the way up FTW. lol
The car in question

Won't be for sale. Looks like they've had it forever. I may enquire over the 'holidays' lol
I like it, especially if it has the early lights. Too many doors though
Dropped and a 17" set of 7 spoke MO's plz. 000000f

slammed on gymoosive steelz. I'd do nothing else to it. well, maybe a snowcap.
Thats the thing with 200s man. Theyre cool as you like, but they only made 164 two doors.
and theres only 12 left.
I WILL have one one day.
Still tossing up between a valver, and turbo 360, or a 240 saloon as my new 'garage' car.
hhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.

Problem is with the 200's is getting hold of a nice set of wheels... 5x108 in rwd offset is uncommon and spacers to fit newer volvo rims are expensive.
However, that is a nice 244... the earlier cars look so much cleaner with the flat bonnets and boot lids

I know of a light metalic green one of these sitting under a dust coated car cover in the underground car park of a block of flats that i did some work in. Looked like it hadn't moved in quite a while, i didn't want to disturb the dust too much but had a little peek and it looked solid enough.
I'd love to enquire about it but have no storage space so it'll have to wait until then.
Oh and watch going up the hills sideways for too long, i overheated my 1.4 in the snow last year doing just, it was barely moving and getting no air flow as it was pretty much at a 45% angle to the road

V plate 244 that will be big bumper that ust changed to rear wrap around light units and square head lamps.
I'd like a nice early 240 but the tax situation puts me off.
