Guest Posted July 16, 2007 Share Posted July 16, 2007 Â Crikey, I can just imagine Hyacinth on her cordless slimline telephone telling off some poor Rover parts salesman for being unable to supply the original factory wheel trims, whilst long-suffering Richard stares sadly at the floor.

MrRegieRitmo Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 On my way to look at this:I spotted these:Â Which floats your boat more, the 740 or the 240? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torsten2001 Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 oh 240's everytime! The 740's although of the same era just aren't built as well, this one had no headlining, trim missing, bumper was loose, no heater (was bypassed), was 40k overdue for a cambelt, no reverse lights and broken lenses, so then I checked the oil and it didn't register on the dip stick. It reeked of neglect despite 11 months MOT and the owner having bought it off Burtons the tailor 14 years ago, it would make a good hack but too much for me to make nice!

MrRegieRitmo Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Presumably the 740 would have been more expensive? It doesn't look an awful lot bigger though, like perhaps the difference between a BMW 5 Series & A BMW 7 Series, so it seems strange to me that the designations suggest a 740 is far & away bigger & better than a 240! Infact 5 times higher up the range? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Torsten2001 Posted July 24, 2007 Author Share Posted July 24, 2007 There's not a great deal of difference in terms of space in fact I think the 7 series was supposed to relace the 2 series. I don't think there's a great deal of thought befind the designations, while the 2 series was current they brought out the little 3 series! Bloody Swedes eh!

r.welfare Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 I like the 740's, although I've never experienced driving a 240. The 7s are tough mechanically and bodily, the '85 and '89 my brother had had never been welded and both were rust-free! I don't like the noisy 2.3 lump, droopy headlinings and dodgy fuel/temp gauges though.But I'm feeling the love of an early 940 saloon if I change job and give up the company Saab...

michiel Posted July 24, 2007 Share Posted July 24, 2007 Just watched a repeat of an old Waking the Dead on the BBC in which the psycho killer drove a grey 240 Estate while pretending to be a doctor... great car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
