New 340 owner

Post by vdubber67 » 23 Dec 2018 01:47 am

Hey folks...

Just thought I'd say hello.

Normally I'm a classic VW owner, but when a 340 came up for sale in our village my curiosity got the better of me!

£100 later and I'm the proud owner of a LHD 83 1.4 DL CVT. 50k original miles, full service history, all the books etc.

Put it through and MOT and it only needed a brake light fuse. More than can usually be said for my VW vans!

Anyway...not sure what I'm doing with it - just driving it occasionally for now....ImageIMG_1137 by vdubber67, on Flickr

Looks good, but the windscreen 'chrome' looks pretty deteriorated. If you can find it, 1980 models use real chrome and should be a direct replacement.
