The car offered here was part of a Belgian collection for a long time and fell into oblivion. Its owner gave it the rear wheel covers from the sports model, as they facilitated changing tires. At the beginning of its career, the simple 240 got genuine leather seats and a wooden interior, which, unfortunately, is a bit weathered today. The visible traces of corrosion as well as other blemishes make a restoration advisable, thanks to the good technical basis it does not mean an economic risk - a "small Jaguar" for people who want to configure their car themselves.
