Oli's 1981 343 GL manual
 
3 Attachment(s)
Hi,

My son Oli has bought this little 343. He is 15 and the plan is to fettle it until he can drive at 17. Mechanically it is sound, the underside is in great condition, the interior just needs a little bit of work, but there is quite a lot of bodywork to tidy up. Nothing major, just surface rust on the wheel arches, scuttle and valance.

She has 38k miles on the clock and we've got some history (almost all of the MoTs) to back that up.

Oddly it has shiny new coilovers on the front and the back has been lowered by an inch or so. Both will revert to standard.

I've had one Volvo before, a 1997 V70 2.5 20v. Most of my car history is LR, with a mix of Defenders, RRs and Discoveries.

Cheers,

Huttopia

Lovely car, and early ones like that are rather rare now.

Looking forward to seeing it get the attention you say the bodywork would benefit from :)
