That's what I expected, a VERY nice redline 1.4 vario but without the redline interior... What a shame!

duvel - if you're coming to this next meet i'm sure you could get the interior from that one on ebay. the plus-side is that because the drivers seat is on the RIGHT side (;)), it'll wear evenly when you start using the old passenger one

Should be possible, then it would make Aymat bring his car to the meet too :P Leave the standard seats in Belgium (bar the drivers seat) and do a swap at the meet ;) Depends if anyone is near the Redline and has room for storage.

you can fit a spare set of seats in a 340 easy - i managed a full set in my mates punto..

the guy might be willing to store the seats in the meantime - guess the only way to find out is to ask him. btw DEKAY WHEN ARE YOU GETTING THESE BLOODY SEATS OFF ME?!

Yep, but the question is: are the seats in PERFECT condition and the price :wink:

I can even leave ALL seats here, I was sitting on a jerrycan with my first GLT and it's still possible to drive LOL sm56

Yeah, and when I'll say "I'm from Belgium", he will say "good joke man" :wink:

That's what happened when a french member wanted to buy Dougle before 5lab destroyed it...

But then tell him that you run one of the biggest Volvo 300 communities around, he won't be laughing then ;) It's worth a try anyway, it seems that the redline interior is quite hard to come by near you.

the seller knows about V3M coz I told him , I will email him and ask what the latest situaition re the car is , I wish I could go get it but I'm a bit like Pete , three cars and two folding campers on the drive already and I only have a three car length driveway, spose I could park it on top of the folding campers LOL. plus the old wallet's a bit low what with five kids and a wifes worth of chrissy prezzies just gone out of it (not to mention the christmas lights the wife bought this year )

Just to let you all know a blueline wasnt that early! It was 1988 And i have a brochure i will upload on it when i can, i do know it came with all the guages in the cluster alloys and new was £8995. I also have been lucky enough to find one sat in some ones drive doing nothing! So if you all give me time to sweet talk them i may be able to get hold of it! I couldnt really see what condition it was in but as far as i could see it was COMPLETE!

The 1980 343 DL Blue Special was an early one.

The 1982 345 GLS Blue Line was a bit later.
