Official V3M 300 Spotted Thread.

I think your right, but this must be their new home, cos there are no longer on a drive as mentioned in the ad on VOC forum. Looks like someone got them for spares or restoration. Good detective work mate

[SteveP]

Ahh right! Well, even better detective work yourself!

Spotted this evening whilst out delivering:



340 GL with a little offside rear arch damage. Taken on phone hence crappy quality. Down some cul-de-sac with no cut-throughs so I'd have never have found it otherwise. It looks like it's used as it's quite clean.

Finally tracked down the gold 83/4 360 5 door GLS! We spotted it in the car park of a local supermarket today. Went in to put a V3M card under the wiper and a note saying call me before selling/scraping this car please. Lady owner came over as we loitered with (good) intent. Very chatty and happy to talk about the car. 89,000 miles, one owner from new, no welding, still very happy driving it etc. Card declined as no internet I offered to help find parts if she has problems in future. It's nice to see one in it's natural habitat Car was in very good condition for 26 years, un-restored state, basically from first glance, just needed wheels respraying.

Looks good man.
She's obviosly looking after it!
Don't think I've ever come across anyone that DIDNT want a chat about their 300.
chalk up another score for the 300 running tally.

[Speedy88]

I've never met someone who didn't enjoy driving one either.

Was pissed over my mates once, got chatting to his gf while he was putting something in the oven. Turns out her first car was a 300 too but it died of rust. But she proclaims that to this day she's never had a better car. Another happy customer

If I'm right that black/gold pair are in a yard on Kirk Sandall Ind Est?

If so they are Foggys, and temporarily housed at Ozzy's (from T'Bricks) haulage yard.

[Hell Driver]

That right! It's a small world No stone will be left unturned in the search for 300s

[SteveP]

That gold GLS looks pretty nice!

[Speedy88]

Nice but dirty 360 GLS 3dr in blue spotted at work. Note and V3M card (thanks VND) left.

Spot from baaaaackwards iiiiiin tiiiiime! (said in a mystical deep voice)

From about 17 years ago, at a field study centre somewhere in the countryside......... possibly Allenheads, or Falstone.
Are my squinty eyes decieving me, or is that a red 343 hiding behind me?

[Hell Driver]

Well spotted!

I've just remembered a levis advert from 2001 I used to like- featuring a triumph 2000 as the main car. If you watch carefully in the garage scene you'll spot a Mk 2 360? (chrome bumper top) in mucky white. It's on youtube under 'levi's twisted to fit advert' Maybe someone could post it up as I don't know how to (and please explain how) At the time I thought it was funny cos I had the battered old 300 (with a white boot lid) and my mate had recently had a white triumph 2000!

Loved the music too, Before You Leave by pepe delux, (as in 343DeLux )

Hi,
does the no-UK 300 counts?
If yes here is some:

In Lofoten, Norway:


In Bulgaria near Varna on highway (2008):


In Police (it is town name), Poland, (2007):

[volvosneverdie]

How cool is that?
a 'Police' 300.
Must be under-cover.

I was doing the Sarn Helen Rally last night, and I passed a white 340 2-door. Cant remember where, but in the middle of calling bends I thought 'Hmmm mint'

No pics, I had my hands full.
