If anyone parlez vous Francais, and would like an interesting project, check this out that I have just found - http://cgi.ebay.fr/Volvo-340-DL-Automat ... 7C294%3A50

It's a 1985 340 saloon Variomatic. As you know, the saloons were only sold in the UK as 360 2 litres, but in Europe, they were offered in 340 versions with a boot as well as hatchback.

I can't quite work out whether it is road worthy or not - I think the "MoT" has expired!

Au revoir.

Translation: (by me).

I've had this car since 1987. She's not rolled since 2007. Done about 60000MILES max (the display gave up at 10000km)

The engine goes and does something slowly to your teeth.

Something else.

Front bumper's coming off. (see photo)

Belts changed in 2003 at 93000km

Something, a delco head and silencer in 2003.

new front tyres 2006.

last service(or MOT?) date 2005.

Boot will fit over 100 bottles of red, 40kg of cheese, lots of berets, garlic, and 3 snails.

Actually there was a 340 GLE saloon sold in the UK as I have one

The booted Variomatic cars are quite rare here too ... AFAIK they were only sold for two years in Germany.

We certainly got saloon 1.7's, thats the first 1.4 saloon I've seen though, and CVT at that, cool

See marktplaats.nl...there loads left here in the NL...

Front grille = Can't work out how to get the sick smilie up


It's a Volvo, so don't try and make it look like an 80's Fiat !!

I havn't seen that car for years! Some of the euro guys will be able to explain more, but I think Duvedec was a tuning company or something? Wheres Jeroen when you need him

Saloon Vario very always thought a MK1 saloon would be cool as well.

Yeah, I had a quick google last night and it seems it was safety or something rather than powerz

duvedec or
DUtch VEhicle DEvelopment Center is a company that does buses but worked their way into cars aswell. the origininal 360 Duvedec was just a gl with a b200e and duvedec only dit exterior mods so wouldn't like to call it a tuning company.

more like a how to fuck op a 300 company
