Post by Nimminz »

Hi,

Looking for a 1.4, Volvo 340. Whichever shape 80's is. Pref not too much wrong with it will be daily drive.

Really needs to be near Durham, within about 20 mile.

Standard - no mods, T&T for at least a few month

Looking at spending about £500 cash

Cheers
Matt

£500 should get something tasty.

Get shmoozing with the senior citizens in the area. They have them tucked away in their garages! :lol: (actually DON'T. Save the good ones for the beardies and mess around with an already modified one. If you have to mod a good 'un: Keep it simple and reversible ;) )

not if you're patient. When you're looking for 20-odd year old cars you have to be.
