81MY 343 possibly for sale

Post by S10NPH » 08 Feb 2015 09:02 pm

Just spotted this post on another forum http://autoshite.com/topic/19376-scrapyard-frolicking/

The 343 looks a bit crusty but thought I'd put it here in case someone fancies a challenge! I think the place is in Derby.

Rumour has it that it is no longer for sale. I wouldn't trust me on that though, in case it's a different car!

I couldn't possibly confirm or deny that I now have a matching pair of 1981 343 GLs in Blue...!

This one is very, very rusty. Most likely getting parted out unless someone is feeling extremely brave.

Suppose at least this new one has it's window trims installed :lol:

Talking of trims, aren't they stainless on the '81's? Worth removing I suppose... better than the yellowed plastic coated crap on the later cars.
