Volvo 340 1.4 winter car

Hello everyone!

Last Saturday I bought my 340 so I can put my MG B in storage for the winter.
It already passed the Dutch MOT with flying colours and it is getting new tires fitted as we speak.
It's a very base model 1.4 Special, no options other than heated front seats. I'll probably fit a rev counter and central locking soon, and perhaps some other original options. It does have some dings and dents and I'll try my best to repair them as good as I can.
It's a very low mileage car (90.000km), fully documented, literally bought it from an old granddad.

So far I'm truly surprised how good it actually drives, I'm sure I'm going to have a good time with this car.

Kind regards,
Harm

Mostly keep it original. Definitely replacing some of the fuel lines as advised by a fellow 340 driver on facebook, it just got new tires on it today, replacing the radiator this weekend and probably going to add central locking and a rev counter. Perhaps some other original options later on but definitely nothing non-original. And other than that, just drive it, enjoy it and probably sell it after the winter and try to make a small profit on it.

Petrol blue is the best colour - ecstatic is a better word than gorgeous. Must do bookface one day...
