Hahah.. I love how you answer things john! Carl, the difference is noticeable enough. The whole "look" problem with 240s stems from the fact that it's a 140 with the front end stretched from in front of the front axle.. It's around 6 inches. The flathood is the better looking of the two and doesn't matter whatsoever on your rally car  John Lane has a flathood front end and a nonflathood on his car.
Some pictars (and yes I'm a Volvo perv) Andrew M Onterrible 30ish |
