The 240 series released in September 1974 is a big update of the 140, launched seven years earlier. The figure 4, at the centre of the name, indicates the number of cylinders (the 260 is a 6-cylinder) and the last one indicates the number of doors. Therefore, the version here is a 244, built before 1978 (and not 1978 as Premium X stated), since the grille still receives round headlights.
Warning to our customers: Premium X missed the chrome parts of its model car. The rest of the miniature is neat and faithful, but chrome details, especially on the waist moldings, are botched. Too bad, all models with this reference are concerned, without exception.
