Hi all. On the weekend i just picked up a nice little 340 known as "Chester".
Chester has one owner from new (and now me) and has about 60,000 miles. For the past 7 years he's been laid up in a garage but will now be set free. Chester is completely rust free saving one blob on the bottom of the passenger door. Only other blemishes are some dodgy paint lacquer on the bonnet (was resprayed following an early dink) all the plastic coated silver trims have gone yellow and the driver headrest is a little perished, otherwise Chester is clean as a whistle.
Plan is to replace all fluids and get Chester all serviced and freshly mot'd and then he'll be a retro daily for me (and backup car for my wife and son). As a little thanks you for rescuing him, after putting in new fuel and only a few minutes of tinkering by my son, Chester rewarded us by firing up nicely and now starts on the button and sounds really sweet.

Re: Hello - meet Chester
Hello and welcome.
That looks like a terrific little car, what a find! I like the colour too. It must be a 1983 model year car - you can tell as it has the earlier type mirrors mounted on the door, and still has a quarterlight panel on the doors.
Is it a manual or variomatic?
More pics would be appreciated when you have a chance
