Congratulations for your first car. You will have fun driving this
car. The engine is a B14 very easy to maintain and above all reliable.
Moreover, you have a car which will become a vehicle of collection pretty soon.
Good luck for the driving license exam.

The story of your 340 is particular, isn't it? 5 years stationary
because your grandfather fell ill and wasn't able to drive the car... sm16

Tom, due to a problem with your picture "The web site you are
trying to access has exceeded its allocated data transfer" (a BMP file is too big), I put a
resized picture here...

Your Volvo is WONDERFUL!

Yes if it had stayed outside, this volvo 340 would have suffer.
I like the red color for cars but most old red cars suffer of decoloration. They become orange. I
notice this in south of France due to sun I think.
But this volvo has its red color like new. Just maintain it.
