If foggy doesn't want an early Mk1... I might

Hmm early mk2 eh, what colour? Would help if I read posts before thinking it's still a mk1...

Steve sucks at teh reading!

I think I have everything bar the wings Dai, but it would be nice to start with an actual mk1. Having said that, I'd be interested to see what you do have.

Why mk1? Yeah, for the look. I'm building a replica of the 343 R-Sport...although using an little artistic license, and using the -1980 bumpers with the redblock engine - something which wouldn't ever have been made in 'reality'.

cheers

I still have not nad a chance to look at this one yet.

James your in the same boat as me short on the wings. There was a pair on flebay for ages.

I'll keep you posted

Hi Dai
Is the low mileage volvo mark 1 still for sale ??


Thanks

Ben,

I think we determined that it's actually a mk2. If it IS a mk1....I'm calling dibs

cheers

Im thinking of selling my bleu MK1 cause im planing to drive the red MK1(it's cheaper to drive, nicer to see, but a little more rust).

One slight problem:
LHD, and on Dutch plates;)

That's not a problem

hi guys

I see you are looking for Mk1 343 wings. Have you tried the Daf club of Holland. They make most parts for Dafs, Volvo 66s and even some 343 parts. They sell Mk1 parts manuals so I do think they sell the wings too.

I recall that they also have a supplier who makes fibreglass wings for Dafs and V66s as an option. My dad looked into this for us and I think they also stock 343 front wings. My 343s wings arent excellent but Im hoping to repair them.

www.dafclub.nl from memory. You need to track a guy called Toon Degreef - he worked for Dafs in the parts dept and runs the warehouse he's a walking parts manual.

pls keep me posted on any updates - saves all of us asking the same questions!!

all the best

A RHD mk1 would be preferable...but I may get desperate yet

cheers

James

It'd be easier to make a custom 4-2-1 exhaust mani for a LHD car.......

It would be harder to overtake retired people in their luxobarges though...

cheers

James

Is it that hard to find a Mk1 there? In Holland they almost give them away... There are enough.

I've only seen 2 mk1's ever Frits, and that's ever ever. Mk2's are becoming a lil more popular in the grand scheme, but I think thats only because I'm seeing less mk3's to the same amount of mk2's.
