340 needs a new home
I have a 340 GL which I would like to go to a new home where it will be put to good use. I can't scrap her because it doesn’t seem right. I bought the 340for my wife to drive our son around in (to the shop's or her mum's etc) Its a safe car and I know the B14 engine is reliable as my first car was a 340 which I part exchanged for a 440.
We have had her for only 2 months. But the steering is too heavy for parking. We have decided to get another make with "pas" and a bit smaller, as you know she isn't worth part exchange and would be scrapped if she was. MOT Sept 09, Tax Jan 31st 09, very clean inside all switch's work and heated front seats. Original Lw/Mw radio cassette, bodywork is blue with a couple of dents and a bit of rust on front n/s door. Seals have been worked on. The engine seems fine (B14). I had her tuned-up because the carb was loose. She needs a new centre box because it’s very rusty but only just starting to blow at the join. Manual gearbox. O/s headlight has a stone chip. I think that’s all I can tell you about the car. If you can give her a good home all you need to do is come and drive her away. I bought her from ebay for £300 and got a bargain I don't expect to get my money back, I might if I sold her in bits but I can't. Just to clarify. I'm not selling the car its Free to a good home, unless you feel you need to give me something for her. Thanks for your time Phil |

This would have been great for me up here. Sadly I am out of work and cannot afford the juice to come down from Edinburgh and back. I am sure that you will find a home for the car down there though.

I've been looking for a car to replace my 440 as a daily driver as my brother wants it. My housemate Chris_C put me onto this and clearly wants another 340 in the house . If it's still available I'd love to have a 340 to run around in.

Hello Phillip
I live not far away from you and have been looking for a dependable car as a daily driver. Is your 340 still available? If so, I could come and pick it up this weekend, either Saturday or Sunday, if that is convenient for you. I've also sent you a pm with my details. Regards Rob |

I thought you were trying to make some room in that lock up of yours? That's 3 cars I think you have attempted to rescue this last week! How many have you actually acquired?

actually you are right, I did make room too but now I have room to fill! Although I may have over-egged the custard somewhat as in the last two weeks I have rescued 3, maybe 4, Volvos, a Vauxhall Senator, a Reliant, a Subaru and a Ssang Yong!
