Hi all.
A 1991 340 1.4 limited edition on Ballygowan road Belfast.
Might even be up for grabs.Been of the road for five years but is sound.
Anyone know what it might be worth?
Cheers Mark. sm4

Reasonable looking metallic blue 5 door 340 GL (with boot spoiler) seen heading over the new Severn bridge in a Welsh Walesish direction on Friday evening, about 8pm or just after. F reg.

Was doing 70 odd, driver looked pretty relaxed. Seemed like a daily driver.

Why is it I never see any when I'm in my 360?? Used to happen when I had a Smart Roadster too, never saw them when in the vehicle itself, but see hundreds when I'm driving something else!
7.52pm: I'm jealous. I really wish that I was a) a Fulham fan; and b) at Craven Cottage. What a night for them. The players are still on the pitch, loving it.

Spotted this relatively clean 1700 340 at Asda in Seaham yesterday morning.

This one also caught my eye when looking at an Omega someone online had bought.

No better pic unfortunately, but the red wheels are a bit interesting.

Hi all.
The 1991 limited edition i saw the other week, i ended up buying it to have
a spare engine and gear box.As 300s are so rare in this park of the UK, i thought it a wise move.
I might even change my mk1 into a 5 speed. The car is in realy good nick for not being on the road
for five years.It even has a sun roof that is not warped. The MOT ran out in 2006 and the sorn
ran out in 2008 so i think it is off the radar.
Cheers Mark.
My wife thinks i am barmy to get another 300 :lol: :lol: :lol:

Good save Mark.

A spotted a 343 today.
With an old style dash, points, a y shaped spare wheel restrainer, and many other crazy differences from the norm.
Liked it so much I bought it.

It has to be the most gutless B14s ive ever driven. It IS nearly 30 years old though. :lol:
