I would hate to see it end up in a Belgian lock-up
Somebody might actually try to preserve it for the future, my god!

Re: 132!! mile volvo 340 for sale!
I am pleased to inform you all that the car went for far higher than expected.
I didn't buy it, too much for me.
But I've been told that it has gone to somebody most us know in IP68..
I wish the new owner all the best with his new gem

Re: 132!! mile volvo 340 for sale!
Hurrrumph!
Just seen what my houseguest has been up to -
We in the UK have our April the first on - well April the first - it seems the Belgians have theirs on April the fifth - in the afternoon.
True RJ and I attended the auction, and bid, but to be truthful we dropped out when it went over £3000 - the hammer finally fell at £5000! We were unable to ascertain the buyer (but we think trader).
In general the car was verrrry good - but not perfect. The wing damage was more extensive than it looked, the tailgate struts had "gone", the chrome trim around the rear windows was corroded under the plastic - and there was no V5 (sent to DVLA - so was at least a two owner car).
Jokes aside either of us would have gone to perhaps £3500 but no more for a car destined for mothballs - if whoever has bought it uses it they will soon destroy the very thing that made it special - with a few hundred more miles on it, it becomes just another nice low mileage 300 worth £800 - £1000. It's the no miles and no use that makes it unique.
I suspect (and fear) that it will soon appear on a "forecourt" for around £8K and "do the rounds" as we have seen others do!
The only good news is that all our have taken a hike in value today.
A rather disappointed but still amused man with a beard and a brown hat.
PS no other familiar faces there except Mick T.

Re: 132!! mile volvo 340 for sale!
Now can someone put me in touch with an sympathetic insurance assessor that is in touch with the current market valves....
Re: 132!! mile volvo 340 for sale!
Glad to see Mick T is still about
5k is interesting certainly, I hope that the new owner isn't a private collector who hides it away.
