Don't think I'll ever sell this one - if I do you're all welcome to slap me :lol:

I seem to have a reputation to being a picky bugger, wonder why :roll: :lol:

With UK cars you might as well be. In Germany you have to take what's offered :-)

I recently got a call from someone saying he had been looking Germany-wide for a mint 300 for over 6 months with no luck. The only ones on regular sale are MkIII varios, and often these have some problem with them, either rust, or something vario-related. No good manual cars around at all ATM, let alone 360s let alone GLTs.

Cheers

Tom

Quoted for later usage.

I predict September, if you havn't already got a summer MX5.

Is it actually silver or is it Foggy Beige?
Forgot to reply to this - well it certainly looks silver and not at all beige, I have a feeling it could be the same paint code but Foggy's car is special? Or we just remember the one picture he posted where it looked gold. I'm thinking the latter?!

So it is the same colour as Foggy's car, but now that you own one in the same shade of beige it is now mysteriously called silver..... hmmmmm......

I'm sorry but I'm not taking any of this from Duran Duran who ACTUALLY owns a beige 80's car

At least I admit it's beige/gold, whereas you seem to be in denial......

Foggy still owns a beige car?! I thought that rusted into the ground years ago...

That Steve is gorgeous! What a buy!

Liking the fact it has the electric mirrors and rear speakers too, nice find!

One of the last greats that!

Colour is "Metallic Silver Grey" otherwise known as "184" it's in my opinion a nice shade of silver! pain to pain't match though...

Reminds me of my GLT!

Health to enjoy :D

I will pay you one thousand earth pounds for this car Steve.










It will be worth it, the amount of slaps you would receive would be staggering. And possibly fatal.

And I thank you for it. Not that it was my idea in the first place - just Volvo and their "continuous development" malarkey

I think you'll find that if you look carefully at this picture, you'll see that my car is clearly silver...

While I'm here, proof that my 360 still exists...

...I think you can just about see it. If you're struggling to make it out, it's the silver car parked next to the full-fat carton of PIMP JUICE! sm56
(164 now has stainless headlight trims again, but is still lacking foglights, and is significantly too brown in a number of places :( 3dr GL / GLS passenger seat now removed from bonnet)

cheers

So what you mean is... the 164 and 360 are in the same state as they were 18 months ago? ;)
