From your photo I deduce you have acquired a 1989 Mk3 340Dl 1.4 5 door 4Spd in blue with 89k on the clock for approx £385..........

Close, but.... no cigar.
(I don't think they were doing 4sp gearboxes by then?)
Anyway, the vehicle you describe wouldn't even give me a semi-demi bit of wood.

I seriously thought you meant pedal bikes.
Which was why I thought it was absurd.

Fat man on 1960s Moulton is quite absurd. I've got four, but I haven't pedalled t'pub in a while.

1985 - Volvo 360 GLS
