Hi guys. I'm new on the forum and I'm looking for a 340. I'm also new to Volvos however not old cars. Currently running about in my much loved mini and using a lupo as a work house. The times come where id love an old volvo. So if there's any on sale in the north east it would be much appreciated. Id even include the lupo in the deal if anyone is interested. Thanks

I think it is yeah. The nearest one I saw on ebay was York. £400 but it needs a bit of work which im not afraid of really, cant be as bad as the compact rot box mini can it? Biggest problem is he decided to cut the springs on the front :shock:

Common issue but easy to fix by putting some propper lowering on.

Glad you have found one you like :D

Rust is usually the biggest problem, have a search there's loads of info on here.

Too many Matt's in the north east haha

I'm guessing if you have a mini and lupo the volvo will go low?

Best of luck finding one, hopefully by the time you find one I'll have mine back out and we can have a mini meet :)

cheers,
Matt

Likely. Didn't do much to the lupo but had plans for it to be low. mini is very low exhaust scrapingly low so I might be more civil with the 340
