nice!

I sold my Mini Cooper S Clubman and bought this. I can't drive a car if it's too new.

1992 Merc 190E manual with original 146000km, totally original interior, no rust, I likes this ride...

Well it's cars: (No pictures where I am at the moment)

1989 360GLT (naturally)

1969 VW Type One (1300 deluxe) - much work to come (owned her for 17 years)
1976 VW Type 2 Viking (more the wifes)
1987 340GL (whats left after the taxi said hi - due to head for the 300 series afterlife, watch this space for parts)
2001 V70 T5 (Wifes daily runner)
2003 S60 D5 (My daily runner)

Part responsibility of a 1997 Ford Transit 120 (ex-BT)

My daily drive over a year or so 1986 340 GL:



The wifes car 1989 340 GL Blueline:

Thread resurection!

my other car is now a 740.

ew, em, ea, pas, hs, tilting drivers seat, radio, headlamp protectors, etc etc etc.

And everything works.

Cheers to Filtyhjohn and his dad for selling me it for less than it costs to fill the tank,

Nice, Ben. I've always liked those cars since they first hit the streets in the 80's.

Thyre really cool.
Not even the slushbox can dampen my enthusiasm.

Slush-box is OK, once you get used to it and stop hitting the brake as if it's a clutch

Means you cruise, easy - with just occasional kick-down madness. Maybe it's just because I'm knocking on 40...

Turbo-Boost kick down overtaking button is the coolest gear selector mounted button EVER.

... and a shedload of Land Rover project 'bits'!

But my 1987 360 GLT is the 'daily'!

Oooooh that scimitar looks very interesting. More pics of that please!

Yep, 'interesting' is one way of describing the body mods - not done by me - but since she's never going to be 'concours' I'm not worried about 'playing'

Unfortunately, she's been stood for a while and despite a lot of tinkering a couple of weeks ago currently won't start

You wanted more pics ... here's a couple:





If you ever visit PPC Mag forum, I started a project thread over there but I've been a bit quiet of late!

Looks pretty cool man.

I have a soft spot for scimitars.

AND V8s!

Just noticed this. Very nice - early 700 saloons look superb - a bit of missing trim here, a scratch and a dent there, suit these cars right to the ground Hope it treats you well!

Tom

Its got a lot more exterior trim missing now Tom.
I removed the rest to give the car a more even ballance on the twisty roads.
And the added lightness is probably good for anothe 6hp I recon.
