Looks great! Them head rest covers on this must be rare too... never seen another pair in the UK

EDIT: Hmm... emailed him to ask about the rust situation.

Headrest covers in red, must be very rare by now ... I think I have a set in that colour, but in a later style without the four "buttons" in the middle.

"icsi" has the "early type" in his GLS too:

Didn't even know they existed til icsi posted up the pics of his restoration project!

The Mk1 345 GL(S) VIP had four of them as standard, can't find a good pic of them unfortunately ...

Hi all.
That car should be saved by someone here at that price.
It looks to good to scrap.
Cheers Mark.

Bloody heck, that looks pretty smart that. The 343's are 1.4's arn't they? Manual aswell I assume?

Posted: **07 Jan 2010 01:00 pm**

Yeah itll be a 1.4 but could be auto

Posted: **07 Jan 2010 01:06 pm**

hmmm that'd be a bummer if it's an auto. Will have to give the number a ring and enquire as I do like the look of it. Not sure if it'd be right of me buying it and then lowering it and possibly different wheels

(No welded diffs on this one mind

)

Why not buy the white one that has 12mths MOT

If it is a manual the red one will only be a 4spd but it's not too hard to change boxes... seem to remember you've done this before anyway!

Posted: **07 Jan 2010 01:19 pm**

Well the white one is the one I'm orignally interested in anyway so would be happy with either to be honest lol! Yer, i've had a friend help me swap gearboxes before thanks to my lead foot

Hmmm, a bit difficult to see if it has any bumper vents ...

This is only 30 miles up the road from mine - and it's the kind of thing I've been keeping half an eye on for sometime (earlier car - colouful interior etc!)

Dropped him a line, interested to see if it's a Vario or 4spd...also what the rot's like. Valance looks like it's getting a bit grotty, but it's hardly the best picture.

If anyone else hears anything about the car from the seller, please let me know.
