340s at Bishops Stortford classic show

Post by S10NPH »

I went to St Mary's Motor Show in Bishops Stortford yesterday with the VOC Suffolk & Essex section. We had a fantastic turnout of 20 Volvos on our display, with 5 of those being 300s and 1 a Daf, so I thought I might post a few pictures.

Owned by the mother of the guy I'm talking to (Shaun), he's a friend of Richard the Dodd.
A regular to the St.Marys show he usually brings his P1800ES but this year went all 300ie.

Hi Sion.
Great pics of a cracker motor.
Sometimes those tailgate badges come up on e-bay.
Cheers Mark.

Some very nice cars there, thanks for sharing the pics! Love the MkII 345 with the early dash. Not very many of those cars around any more, most early cars seem to be 3dr ...

Cheers
