Re: My new 340.......... New pics
Very nice, especially the colour. Where did you get the coachline from? I have a similar one on my 1980 model, but I've not really seen it on many other cars.

Re: My new 340.......... New pics
The coachline was added to special editions and late's as far as I'm aware. It's on my '91 (a silver silver stripe.. there was also a black/black pair and silver/black pair I think) but not on my '89.
Having said that, I remember when Mum traded her '88 in around 1991 for her 440, the dealer added the pinstripe to her 340 as we were leaving.

Re: My new 340.......... New pics
I think it's all very random with coachline pin stripes, I think Foggy's original silver GLE has one and they've had that from nearly new. Sometimes they can look pretty good in the right colour combination

Re: My new 340.......... New pics
My GLE is a close colour match to Ians. And has a similar coachline. I presume from new, as theres no reciept for it, and theres reciepts for everything else from new.
I think it suits the car well.

Re: My new 340.......... New pics
I bought the coachline on a roll from Ebay, £4.95 with free postage...
