Sure wouldn't have minded ! (I take it that's your redline in the photo)
Thanks for info and rest assured you probably have the best redline if not the only in the village!

By the way , I hope you can make it to the Easter meet up here in Milton Keynes , It would be nice to see another RARE 300, It gets a bit boring with all these dodgy old 360glt's

:lol: rare 300 eh? A 340 with some (alot, in your case ;)) stripes and a "dogy old 360glt" interior eh ;)

rare as in numbers left on the road as opposed to what toys it may have on it , As far as I know there are only four members with a redline (one overseas )and the gold one someone saw driving around the UK ,Oh and of corse the one being broken in Harlow, so that makes a total of five known survivors and a scrapper, Bluelines and R sports are agreeably a little bit rarer :oops: LOL, hopefully by the time of the meet the bonnet stripes will actually be on the car instead of in the shed and my new (dont panic boom boys its only modest ) head unit and shuttle should be installed with my JBL 6x9 's, still looking for a decent retro style sports steering wheel to fit my astrali boss and a set of alloys

Oh indeed.. I was merely p*ssing about! I think the only Redline I've seen (as far as I can remember anyway!) is your one!

There was a sweet black redline going round Watford when I lived there, and I'd have my toys anyday Mick ;) (you got an econ meter yet? *ducks*)

I'd like to go but it depends on wether (and weather!) my other half gives me a passout or she would like to experience the delights of MK and Volvo maniacs herself. The last time I was there I was literally homeless living in an Opal Manta called Cuthbert and working on a building site nearby (some uni or college residences as I recall).
Re my Redline..... didn't know it was quite as rare as you suggest.
Mot on Tuesday so if not too much will definately consider putting replacement door on and keeping. But if too time/£ consuming would like it to go to someone who can give it a good home or cannabilise it.
I've fallen in love with these beautiful/ugly little cars as mine cost £200 in Nov04 plus £80 for tyres and I've just done 7k miles in 4 mths in my job totally trouble free.
Just missed that white 340 1.7 catalyser on that bidding site so am a bit gutted!
By the way my Redline has proudly just gone past 100k milestone
Cheers all
Steve
