340 1.7gl 1989 3 Door 1.7 swap
Posted: 17 Apr 2012 01:12 pm
HI everyone,
We are emigrating to Spain in May and I really do not want to take my 340 over (cannot afford to re-plate her, and after about 6 months the Police will impound it and crush). So, if anyone has a RELIABLE car, any make (but big enough to transport our stuff from northern Spain to South) please let me know and I will consider a straight swap. We are in the Bristol Area. The car is the one in the profile pic, 55,000 miles, 4 new tyres (flew through last MOT). Has a small dent in the N/S sill (easy repair). OS door has had a repair (can only tell in bright sunlight), Has a sunroof, CD (aux in) player + a cassette player in boot, for the purist (not original unfortunately). A few small surface rust spots on body work (treated), and the usual minor scuffs and scratches for a 23 year old car. NO DRIFTERS PLEASE. . . . The 1.7 3 door is getting very rare these days. Will consider selling (make us an offer), or if someone wants to pick her up from Spain (in six months) and enjoy a road trip home (will throw in a free tent and gas grill and sat nav), they can have her for free - would prefer to do it this way as I know how reliable she is and is guaranteed to get us to Spain. Please only 340 lovers. Can e-mail more recent pics if interested. I know its daft to be fond of a piece of metal but really want her to go to a good home . . . . .
