The A pillar where the fuse box is can rot out, causing the door to fall off. Also the tops of the sills in the door shuts can rot alarmingly. The spare wheel well (both sides) can rot, but this snt much of a problem on newer models. Ive noticed the amount of poor 240s has decreased compared to the number of mint ones. Maybe theyve all been scrapped and the only remaining ones are cosseted?

Hi RT; I can think of a couple of earlier threads that might be of interest to you: Good luck with the hunt!

I stand corrected Henrik! I didn't think any were done, but, just shows, you lives and you learns.

Thanks for all the feedback everyone. I'll be looking out for a late GLE or GLT then :) All the best, RT
