Re: New purchase - 1989 360 GLT
With UK cars you might as well be. In Germany you have to take what's offered 
I recently got a call from someone saying he had been looking Germany-wide for a mint 300 for over 6 months with no luck. The only ones on regular sale are MkIII varios, and often these have some problem with them, either rust, or something vario-related. No good manual cars around at all ATM, let alone 360s let alone GLTs.
Cheers

Re: New purchase - 1989 360 GLT
Forgot to reply to this - well it certainly looks silver and not at all beige, I have a feeling it could be the same paint code but Foggy's car is special? Or we just remember the one picture he posted where it looked gold. I'm thinking the latter?!V6 Man wrote:I don't usually like Mk3's, but that looks really nice.
Is it actually silver or is it Foggy Beige?

So it is the same colour as Foggy's car, but now that you own one in the same shade of beige it is now mysteriously called silver..... hmmmmm......SteveP wrote:it certainly looks silver and not at all beige, I have a feeling it could be the same paint code but Foggy's car is special?

I'm sorry but I'm not taking any of this from Duran Duran who ACTUALLY owns a beige 80's car

At least I admit it's beige/gold, whereas you seem to be in denial......

Re: New purchase - 1989 360 GLT
Foggy still owns a beige car?! I thought that rusted into the ground years ago...

Re: New purchase - 1989 360 GLT
That Steve is gorgeous! What a buy!
Liking the fact it has the electric mirrors and rear speakers too, nice find!
One of the last greats that!
Colour is "Metallic Silver Grey" otherwise known as "184" it's in my opinion a nice shade of silver! pain to pain't match though...
Reminds me of my GLT!
Health to enjoy

It will be worth it, the amount of slaps you would receive would be staggering. And possibly fatal.

Re: New purchase - 1989 360 GLT
I think you'll find that if you look carefully at this picture, you'll see that my car is clearly silver...


While I'm here, proof that my 360 still exists...

...I think you can just about see it. If you're struggling to make it out, it's the silver car parked next to the full-fat carton of PIMP JUICE!
(164 now has stainless headlight trims again, but is still lacking foglights, and is significantly too brown in a number of places
3dr GL / GLS passenger seat now removed from bonnet)
cheers
James

Re: New purchase - 1989 360 GLT
So what you mean is... the 164 and 360 are in the same state as they were 18 months ago?
