Volvo 343 in May issue of Practical Classics

Post by volvomania » 25 Apr 2019 08:16 am

I finally have received the May 2019 issue of Practical Classics in which I am featured as the restorer of the month with my 1979 Volvo 343.

PC actually came to Belgium last November to photograph the car and me and it was a fun day despite the rain.

Though not expecting it, it would be a small article, I am now also apparently in the running for the "Restorer of the year" title, which, if successful, would be a first for a Volvo, let alone a 343!
Life is a journey, so sit back and enjoy the ride!
