No offence to Stuart, but do bear in mind that he's done some styling work that might not be to your tastes. In my opinion it would look great in a single colour, but then variety is the spice of life, and if you're looking for something a little different this might be up your street!
cheers

Ah, fair play. It's a late example and looks fairly clean. Would the bodywork stuff (arches, etc) be included? I think £100+ is perfectly within reach.
cheers

I am not that bothered about colour, I can spray if required. Anyway my last 340 was red and pink so taste doesn't come in to it. The way this topic is heading there wont be much left when you've all had your pickings.
