Re: Ebay bargain of the week.

Anyone interested in a 1984 V340 four door Saloon with a Diesel ??

I have received an e-mail from a friend in Holland who has one for sale. 500 Yo-Yos! :D
It will be scrapped if not sold because of the new Vintage car Tax laws in Holland.

Re: A few bits 1978 343

Cheers for checking M8, It is appreciated. I wonder why it is that I can ship a parcel weighing in at 4.5 kilo to the UK via airmail (because they discontinued ground and/or sea post) for less than $ 40.00 (26.00 quid)... ...but going the other way (to USA) it would be $ 67.00 (44.00 quid) ???? I do...

Bless you my son....

Just for giggles could you inquire at Royal Mail or Fed-Ex ??
Weight is not the issue, nor the size....depends how greedy they are. :wink: :wink:

Re: A few bits 1978 343

Think (?) I may have a set of wiper caps on the way from Holland...not sure, hopefully.

Re: Hello All...

I had an amazing ride over the weekend. I and "Marilyn" attended the Rhinebeck, New York car show on Sunday 5,May and she performed like a champ. 360+ mile round trip was her first real test after many electrical repairs as well as her new roof. http://i374.photobucket.com/albums/oo185/TheBear54/201...

Re: CVT gearshift linkage bushes

Think I really need a set of bushes RJ. The 343 shifting is starting to annoy me (when in Park it still sits in Reverse, when I shift to Drive from Reverse sometimes it will stick in Neutral) sm31

Re: Early 343 spares Breaking

Spoke with Chris this AM and told him you would be there shortly to collect the boot light (only 8.00 GBP) for me. Informed him that "HellDriver" would be my courier. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Re: Early 343 spares Breaking

I've just contacted Chris Moore about this (and a few other bits). Hopefully I'll get a positive response soon. John I'm hoping to go back for the screen as mine has a nasty wiper scratch in it, maybe Friday 3rd May so can get the light and send it over if you want? Cheers M8....Chris has notified ...
