1988 1.7 340 gle saloon for sale
I know that I am going to regret selling the car, but I am finding the steering a bit heavy as I`m a bit of an old git with an iffy shoulder! My wife also struggles a bit parking the car.
Apart from that, it really is a great car in very clean, original, unwelded condition, having covered just under 66K miles. The dark grey (gunmetal?) paintwork is still in good condition with a few chips if you look closely. Interior is very good with black leather upholstery electric windows to the front only & a manual sun roof. Engine compartment is in tidy condition, but not polished - I`m not a cotton bud person! I bought this last year from the original owner & have converted a new hatch tow bar (unused!) got the central locking working & replaced the door handle seals. (thanks Mac!!!) The car is in Harwich Essex. CO123RX. If you are interested at all, Let me know & I can send you some photos taken 20.06.17. I am asking £2500 & appreciate that I may just have to keep it! I intend to still use the car on odd occasions & may even change my mind about getting rid of it! MOT`d until 27th November & taxed to end of October after that it will be sorned until Spring next year. Last edited by Harps18TV; Jun 20th, 2017 at 11:33. Reason: Forgot some essentials. |

I know of a complete power steering setup for sale you could get a garage to fit it and then you don't need to worry about the heavy steering

Thanks for your suggestions chaps - I will bear them in mind if I end up keeping the car. I did know that a power steering set up could be fitted if you could get it.
I will certainly give the front tyres a bit more pressure to see it that is enough to take the edge off the heaving at parking speeds! I will see if there is any interest in the car for a start as I don`t really want to spend loads on it. I think these cars are very under rated & are a lot of car for the money when you look at other "classics". I had originally been looking for a Morris minor, but they are silly prices even for a "project" & nowhere near as comfortable. I have advertised the car on Gumtree if you want to see what it`s like. |
