i hadnt realised it was a 340 limited edition, rather than a 360..

alloys look good - fair amount of rust though - bare in mind it might not be driveable - hence the dumpedness..

Me neither? I guess that makes it rarer! But less desireable as a whole car! Unless someones changed the badge!? I didn't think they did Ltd edition 340s like that.

EDIT: judging by the exhaust.. it's gotta be a 1.4 or 1.7

I've spotted one or two, but mainly hatchbacks, however they didn't seem very high spec! This one however seems a more of an added extras car! Keep us informed with your progress!

Yeah, with that amount of rust in the sills, you'd never get it through the MOT.

actually, nessy went thru her first mot with me with actual holes in her sills

Post by **Uba** » 22 Apr 2005 11:18 pm

I checked her out and she is a limited edition 340, and all parts are standard.

So she may look worse on photo, but the parts are still desirable, I trust

Let me know, if you want bits, tell me and I will go for salvage via the DVLA.

BTW, the sill have been welded and to a reasonable standard too

Uba, if you are going to scrap it, I am interested in:

Headlight wipe/washers complete (without the lights

)
Leccy windows (motors and all what's necessary for the conversion)
Leccy mirrors (motors and all what's necessary for the conversion)

I already have the center console so I will only need the little panel with the knobs...

Question about the mirrors:
Can I keep the outer shells of my mirrors when I convert them to electrical mirrors?
Mine are color coded and I would like to keep them that way...
If so, I will only need the buttons, inside covers and motors do I?

Getting closer to perfection!
Now If I only could get my greedy little hands on a driving computer...
Foggy... do you park your car inside or outside...?

Headlight wipers and motors are no problem, leccy stuff you may have a fight for
