Default 1986, 340 for sale

Hi guys,

I have a 945 so spend my forum time there but have fond memories of many years with a 360 GLE.

Advert in my local free paper:

'86, 340 DL; 3 door white, 39,950 miles, 1 owner. Non runner, stood for 3 years on SORN, £1,600. Tel 01245 477135 or 07948 734144.

Price seems a little eye-watering but you will know more about that than me.

The car is nothing to do with me and I know nothing about it over and above the advert. Just passing on.

Over to you.

Cheers,
LeeP

If it is genuine with no rust that price is reasonable the 343 is a fine car , they generally never go wrong or need parts , more room inside than all the newer "small" volvos ....

I would be inclined to agree, 'Clan' (having run them in period) but only if it was also OTR and had a current MOT. I would be concerned by the possible effects of three years disuse, and - like you - any rust issues. Against that, one owner and a sub 40K mileage augur well in it's favour.

Regards, John.
