One of our fellow 240 enthusiasts saw it sitting in disuse, and offered to buy it from the guy whose property it was on.
He realized pretty quickly that it was #22, and kept on going with his plans to swap in an SR. It was white.
That's all my spotty memory can recall. I'm sure someone who remembers better than I can would be able to shed better light on it.

I never knew that. Thanks, for the info mrmephistopheles. I searched Auto Trader yesterday, to find the earlyest ones made. I found #132. So by what your saying, its the 32nd 240 available to the public. Pretty impressive
