Re: Volvo 340 Rally Car *Now Reduced*
Price now reduced to £1800. Also willing to listen to offers.
Last chance before it gets broken! A rather rare opportunity I would say.

Re: Volvo 340 Rally Car *Now Reduced*
Any pics of the car?
If broken I would be interested in a few parts, like roll cage and other stuff

Best appreciated when open.
I probably should have specified ladies legs in there too. [+=] "embarrarrased emoticon"[].com
Re: Volvo 340 Rally Car *Final Reduction*
Reduced for a final time. A steal at this price! I'd rather see it get used than broken though. However, that will have to happen if I don't sell it soon

Re: Volvo 340 Rally Car *Final Reduction*
Pains me to see this not selling. If you do break it I'd be interested in quite a few of the rally bits, but I really hope it stays complete.
I guess you've tried advertising it in the rally community? Can't believe somebody hasn't snapped this up absolute bargain stage/endurance rally car or stick a valver in it and it would make a very potent road rally car.
