My 340 DL
My 340 DL
Here are some pictures of my pride and joy..it's an '88 340DL with the 1.4 engine. I'm sure you'll agree, this has to be one of the best examples of a 340 in the UK, if not the world . I'm having a little trouble with the engine, it runs a little jumpy with no choke. I haven't really had the time to properly look at it but I'm hoping it's nothing serious.

Nope..this is it's internet debut..my grandfather bought it new in 1988 from a Volvo dealer and it's been his since..which explains both the good condition of the car and the ding in the bumper..he reversed it into a lamp post a few years back..
Meh, seriously, though, it's great other than that.

Beautiful looking 340, shines up well, do you use "back to black" or something on the bumpers? Mine used to be registered as F527 WNG and was originally resistered in August 1988, after looking at the pics I'll have to invest in some colour retorer and polish, after the rust treatment, straightening the dents etc.

Yeah "white" become bumpers on a 340 is one of the most horrible thing I find... Black - dark grey from the origine is beautiful...

To tell the truth, I was tempted to use shoe polish after my supplies of Back to Black ran out, but I decided that I could put up with greying bumpers until I got some more. If shoe polish really is as effective as you say, I might just run the risk of trying it out the next time BTB runs out.5lab wrote:shoe polish is the best thing
PS: I just found out, also, that BTB is great on tyres. Is shoe polish as well, or have you not tried that yet?
