This is a loaded question. The answer depends on why you want a car.

I have both. I like the 140 better. But that is a matter of taste. The 140 is my "Sunday car". Would I use it as a daily driver? no. But plenty of people do use a 140 as a daily driver.

From the cowl back, the two cars are pretty similar. Forward of that, the 142 is simpler, I think.

Except D-Jet 140's. Not that D-Jet is difficult, but it can be tough to diagnose and parts might be pricey. The '74 you see is K-Jet. Much simpler.

Parts for 240 tend to be more widely available. The newest 140 is 30 years old.

Overall, I think the 240 is much more practical as a daily driver. But I still like the 140 better.
