Sadly up for sale 340 1.4 3dr grey (Valerie)

Post by turnbullj » 10 Mar 2010 11:48 pm

Hi all, this is a very sad time but due to the purchase of a rx8 my much loved 340 is up for sale

bought it last febuary in newcastle totally standard but with a small rust hole in the back left arch which was repaired within the 1st week and the small amounts of rust on the front valace were cut out filled and coated in waxoyl. Pretty sure its only had 2 owners from new and was told it had been garaged from new its also been garaged the whole time ive had it, only done about 3000 miles with it since I got it think its on 62,000 at the moment but will check.

Spec
1.4 3door DL in grey
Classicwede adjustable shocks all round
Lowered 2inch on classicwede springs + blocks
Ektor bucket seats on runners
OMP wheel
Recently refurbed 14'' white speedlines (might not come with the car if my lass gets a mx5)
13'' Ronals need new tyres
Original steels painted matt black
Rear spoiler
Handheld extinguisher
Stripped rear (all interior still present)
Recently re-build carb
oh and its got air horns - dixie tune of the dukes of hazzard
new clutch
K+N filter

This car has been very well looked after by myself, I would hate to know how many nights ive spent on it or how much money ive spent :(
I have used it for autotesting for the past year which it has been fairly competitive in the rwd class often beating mk1+2 escorts and at the last test was only 3 seconds behind a £20k mk2 rs2000, with a good driver this could be very competitive, its taught me alot about car control

only selling due to gettin a rx8 so after something like a fiesta for the drive to work everyday

will consider splitting the car up eg. selling suspension, seats, wheel etc. seperate and then returning the car to standard to sell on if enough interest

open to offers or part x

thanks James

Cheers Dan

Good luck with the sale.
