Yeah, another look at 'ow many left shows its about 600 340's and about 200 360's and you're right I haven't seen one for a very long time now except in a few hotspots that I know about.... took that car from Hull out today - seems to be going OK after its brake issues were resolved.

F reg blue 360 GLE 5dr hatch hooning up eastern avenue, Gloucester last night.

i had thought about picking the missus up in the glt but opted to take the frugal saxo instead.... i might have got his attention in the ovlov but the citroen got completely blanked when i pulled along side

me and 360beast were just discussing the fact theres only 200 or so licensed 360's left, then within a few hours i found one in the wild clearly not that rare

Found where another Ocean Blue Metallic 5 door 360 GL is when I was driving home yesterday Thododd now that's weird how we both saw one after saying few are left!

bex has seen another today, E reg slate blue (possibly?) 340 also in gloucester and there used to be a 3dr on banded steels just round the corner from her mothers in Abbeydale but i havent seen that for a while

i think the GLE i followed was ocean blue.

My old 360 is up for sale!

Doesn't mention the massive dent in the drivers door, runs on three cylinders when cold and leaks oil out of the selector shaft seal also the odometer stopped in 2008 and actual mileage is circa half a million kms.

The spoiler is from my brothers pug 309 GTi, I sold the 360 to my brother for $200 he then decided he didn't want it after two days and sold it to him for $200... That's a bit of a profit he will make. Honestly this is a horrible example of a 300 series it is truly knackered.

I remember seeing this years ago, found it at last!

I like the wat the 343 looks untouched but the fiesta is crumpled!

That's a terrific spot Andy! Looks like the 343 is a MY79. It loses its driver wing mirror by the time it hits the Fiesta for some reason, and is already missing its passenger one and wing badge in the first shot. I'm also not quite convinced that the Fiesta actually suffers all that damage in the crash, given the overhead view. But extremely fun nevertheless!

Well done for spotting that Andy! Having owned both cars, I know why I passed the Mk1 Fiesta on after 10 months

Hi all.
Yeh we had one of those Feistas years ago. Nothing ever went wrong with it
but would not have fancied it in a smash.
Cheers Mark.

I do have a soft spot for mk1 Fiestas, I would quite like one but they are now subject to the 'blue oval tax'. My grandmother had one in the 1990s, it was an A reg Popular in hearing-aid beige with vinyl seats, no headrests, no rear seat belts, no radio, and a mechanical foot-pump for the windscreen washers. I hated it at the time, but would love to have it now.

I owned a 1983 1.0 40 horsepower model, one of the last Mk1s. It was good for learning how to keep momentum, one of the slowest cars I've ever owned. Even a Trabant accelerates faster - in town anyway.

My mate had a light minty metallic green 1.1 Ghia, engine was shagged though, so ended up with a 950 engine out of a Popular. Had a feckin' annoying gear lever rattle in 4th as well.

Can't see the attraction, even now.

One of the 40%

"Now you see, there was no need for that to happen"

Poor car indeed, what an idiot driver!

Spotted in Home Bargains in Llangefni, Anglesey on 23rd Decembver when I was visiting my parents over Christmas:









A proper one still 'in the wild' - I even spotted the elderly lady owner as I was driving away, complete with rain hat!
