I've just found a picture of Affie. She was our first 340. This was taken in North Wales just before she had to be scrapped.

Image

I did 30,000 miles in that car and hardly ever had her serviced (or even cleaned). I'd just take her for the MOT and have the necessary work done. I do feel bad about mistreating her, but figured that if a car could withstand five years of that sort of abuse, a good one should run for ever if looked after.

:340:

Duvel, why does your subscript say that you have the most economical 360? (Mine is probably the most un-economical, running at 8 km / litre when pushed)
Leather, leccy windows and mirrors, snowcap, foglights, open air filter, black roof upholstery. What more do you want? >a 2.3 turbo!
