early blueline

I do like the black but I think the graphics( original ones I mean ) and the bits like the spoiler and SNOWCAP look better in contrast,

Also my car looks more like an RS1600i rather than a common old XR3 lol

Sorry Mr Redline. I stand corrected. Should have said:

Black is nice, unless you can find one of these:

the 343 "blue special" was a 1980 special model.

DL version:

GL version:

the 345GLS "blueline" was the FIRST 300 with 5 speed gearbox.
it had decals on the hatch; left side the normal volvo label with '2.0' at the right of it, and on the right side '5 speed'.

The engine is a B19A, the rest of the car was GLS spec (rev counter etc)

some other characteristics were introductory to other changes that were introduced in 82; interior materials, new metallic paint colours, etc.

After the 1982 'blueline' indeed it took a while for the MKIII blueline to come out

Wasn't the redline the only black 340?

This might sound totally bonkers...but...the 'face' of that first "blue special" looks to me like one of the Happy Tree Friends...

cheers

It looks a bit 'Noddy car' but it may just be the colour or the angle or those front bumpers.

BTW...if anyone wants to get into the Christmas spirit, downlaod some Happy Tree Friends. It's like Itchy and Scratchy, but much harsher
