Very reliable and runs smoothly but with 239,000 on the clock, all good things have to come to an end.
Just completed a 500+ mile roundtrip to Runcorn without problem, and a trouble-free 3000 miles last month, but it's just got to go at the end of the week when the MoT expires. Apart from 2 tyres I don't know of any reason why it could not pass another test, but it's probably best for spares now unless anybody wants a free runabout.
I'm not asking for any money but any donations received would be passed on to charity - the 340 doesn't owe me anything !!
Good points:-> Very reliable, used daily and for many long trips.
> Regularly maintained as evidenced by the huge mileage.
> Bodywork is still in very good condition apart from small rust patch at bottom of drivers door and slight damage to rear nearside wing.
> In it's long life, it's had 2 new radiators, 2 new starters, new Weber carburettor, and a refurbished alternator, plus lots of other new bits & pieces.
> 2 good tyres
> Speedo and odometer still work
> Radio works (but not the tape player)
Not so good points:-> Tailgate struts have failed
> Drivers doorhandle broken but usable
> Small pastic link on sunroof has broken
> Slight oil leak from fuel pump
> Rear jacking points rusted
> Rev counter has a mind of its own
Worst Point:-> Occasionally has trouble starting when warm caused by condensation in the distributor (absolutely fine when either hot or cold)
So get in quick before the competition and take advantage of this unrepeatable offer !!!
