Somewhere in my history of owning 240s, beginning in 1977 with a 1975 245, I saw the specification of turning circle. It was 32 feet. Or thereabouts. Quite tight. Same as my FIAT 850 (motorized roller skate).

With the wheels turned max, go very slowly. Good for parking in small spaces and such. In hot weather, the wheels' wanting to scootch sideways can damage blacktop pavement.

I have always enjoyed the tight turning circle, makes it easy to park in a parallel spot that others have had to pass up.

Enjoy the ride.
