Desperate for a 3 door 360/340

Post by **cheshire190e** » 07 Apr 2008 01:08 pm

If anyone has a 3 door 360/340, please let me know.

I will consider any shown, i dont care what the interior is like aslong as the bodywork is ok and it runs.

If its a 340, i would have to get the 1.7.

I have upto around £400 but for the top end i would be looking for a clean looking one that drives well.

Cheers

Matt

Would you consider a 340?

it would have to be a 1.7 though

There is one for sale down the road from me I will try and pop over and have a look this week. Think its a 1.7 from memory

Cheers, that would be great.

Im really after the 2ltr one but if its in good condition then i could be tempted.

Thanks

BTW what use is the car going to be for? I'm not bothered what you want to do with it as long as it in not banger racing!

haha no dont worry. Im downgrading from my 190e as it uses just far too much petrol. I want to stick with RWD but go for a much smaller car.

So that leaves me with the 360 as my only option really. I would just prefer the 2ltr engine as i do quite alot of motorway miles and i think i would benefit from the extra bit of grunt.

Hmm well keep an eye out on the 1.7's then in that case, 2.0's really aren't that good on fuel!

ahh ok, i didn't realise there would be a big difference. do you know what sort of mpg you get from either of them?

Cheers

Before petrol went up to silly prices, 200m to £20 was easy. Now it's doable f you drive like a granny, but 160-180 much more likely at standard cruising speed.

I expect Chris will be talking about his 1.7 there, the 2.0, injections especially will get around 25-30mpg, with the carb'd 2.0's being better on longer stints.

I know fuel has gone silly. Only a few months ago it was 45p per ltr now I have to pay 48p + The worst I have seen is 60.9 on motorway services

lol, you and your crazy lpg!!

Post by **classicswede** » 07 Apr 2008 10:51 pm

Not so crazy at that price though!

I typically get 25mpg on the motorway from my 360, but I don't hang about. And remember, these cars like high octane fuel.

You're going to be very lucky to get a clean 3 door 360 GLT for £400, and I'm not sure whether they built 3 door 360 GL/GLE's
