brochures

Post by brad360 » 02 Jun 2005 07:49 am

I have a brochure that looks like it came from UK, mentions 340 and 1.4 & 1.7 litre engines never sold in australia, speedo in miles. Hatch wiper and headlight wipers. The radio has a digital tuner, newer than my 1986 radio.

Back page, 34, has a number 4039-88

Does this mean 1988?

Has anyone scanned this brochure?

**

There is a different one on australian ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll ... eName=WDVW

just about 360GLT, says Australian spec.

I might bid for it, but if someone else wants to go ahead....

I'd be curious to know what was different in Australia, a 1984 review I mentioned said they got different front springs

I have finnish versions of 1988 brochure and Users manual, currently scanning brochure, takes some time as my scanner is very slow and old, but I got it working finally :D

Ok, brochure is now scanned and I have made them available in here:
* not working link removed *

Those are quite big images, I will made nice pdf once I get all programs installed and also when I learn to use them properly, some time since I did something like this, around 6 years, my memory is not as good as it used to be :P

Edit: removed not working link, will get it back when I find where I have saved it.

I just got a very nice condition 1983 brochure off eBay. It's different to the one Pete Farrell published here earlier, it just says Volvo 300 on the front cover and has a side view of the car. I think it's a slightly longer brochure and has an accessories section in the back. I think it's the same one that's available to VOC members online.

Wouldn't it be better to put these in the (currently empty) brochures section of the v3m web site?
