Hi all
After a long search we have finally found a decent low mileage 340. Virtually identical to our last 340 that was sadly killed by a hit and run driver. The new one is absolutely gorgeous and is virtually showroom condition. Spot the difference between old and new.......!!!
A very happy Xmas everyone and a very Happy 300 series motoring New Year

Hi
Thanks for the post. The car was bought by a guy who was going to drift it but when he got it and saw the condition he didn't have the heart to do it!!! So basically we swapped it for our stupid clapped out Vectra!!!! We couldn't be happier in her!! She has central locking, a sunroof, and rev counter and drives like a new car. Its like coming home when we got her yesterday. Going out for a drive in her this morning!
Have a great Xmas and New Year
Jo and Alan

Thanks again all. We are so pleased with her, the photo's on ebay don't do her justice at all. We love her so much and can't believe our luck really. Sorry for anyone who missed out on her on ebay but we will look after her we promise....
I personally love these cars so much that when I checked out my insurance for a 1.4 auto it was just £116 for the year, so I think that is the next one we will be looking for....probably next Xmas when we find it!!!
