you could get a redline as a 360 glt as well.

Pretty sure all redlines were the 1.7.. whether thats a good thing or bad thing.. well!

Yeah the interior is "just" standard GLT style, but nicer in my opinion because of the red piping and better than all other 340s.

I know some redlines were GLTs too.. but in the UK as well? I'm not so sure.

I've only ever seen one redline GLT, but Hugh is correct, they did do them. I seem to think it was either a red or black GLT, it was on that auction site ages ago, with a dent in the rear door or something. Looked tidy other than that, never seen another one though.

In case anyone here is interested ,the guy with the redline emailed me to say he would take £125.00 for the whole car as it is

i'm surprised no-one has noticed the *RARE* 13" alloys on there.. i'd have them but i want to keep 14s.

I know Hugh they are the same as I have on mine , must admit though I would like bigger and wider rims and tyres , the road holding aint much to talk about,feels like your driving on skates as soon as the roads get wet or icy

They might be rare, but they're not particularly nice either

. 13" rims look far too small on 300s. The couple of specced up 360s on Autotrader recently had them 13" alloys too.

I know there not particularly nice Steve , I have to look at them everytime I go out to the car

. replacements are going to be a priority in the new year

i think they've got appeal, maybe they're on the wrong car thou.. better than the stock glt rims imo.
