Now I saw that the seller says 1986, yeah sure ! sm6
On the other hand, last Saturday I went "visiting" this one:
http://mercador.ro/oferta/piese-volvo-3 ... 7adf0ccb40

I bought front door rubber seals, a lot of stuff made from plastic from the interior (door trims, seats adjusters), right door handle and the driver`s window. The car is a 1986 1.4 vario 3 doors (with new belts and new drive shaft, I couldn't check under the car to see if it`s true), mine is 360 5 doors. Only at home It became clear that my door is smaller in length sm2 , but I`ve manage to change that window with the ingnition module plus ignition coil. I`m sorry, I am a bit off topic: is it possible to swap the tow bar from these two cars? I`m not sure if it fits.

Vario? Where have the air vents in the front bumper gone?

Depends on design of the bar. Some will, most won't.

And Suffolk looses one -

Outside the Mac cave, ready for the off to its new home in Lancashire (having covered less than 100 mls in the last two years). Owner has moved to Norway and Really, really, Orange has found a new home. New owner Kenney collected today.

1984 yr.model, 27,000mls, new MOT, - a nice example!

Owner already has a 360 B200K as a "daily" and this will be a "high day and holiday " car.

Ah, I remember that GLT from a few years ago. Looks bloody fantastic :) Still always wondered why it never got the stripes on the tailgate, but seemed to nice a car for it to have been replaced. Suppose it's not out of the realms of possibility that it was or the original purchaser requested it without them!?

Wow :shock:

I didn't expect that these cars , which were the only cars ever produced in Israel , will be known here :shock:

It was awful attempt -1.3 liter ford power units , rear wheel drive
And body made out of fiberglass
Production ended in 1981...

Red 340 1.4, 5 door, registered August 15th 1991, number plate OEC 67V (had to look up year on DVLA as private plate). In Mansfield, Nottinghamshire. Anyone on here?

Looking back at this thread it's nearly 2 1/2 years since I last spotted a car on the road which wasn't one I already knew about. Is the 300 about to become extinct other than for enthusiasts?

Maybe you haven't seen any as you own all the ones in the Doncaster area :lol:

I see a few regularly around Cambridge, two G-reg metallic blue GLEs, and one dark blue F-reg. I have to admit I haven't seen any of them for a couple of months though.
