Behold my new 340!

[Torsten2001]

So full of beauty, history, MOT & tax and owing me £15 in fuel! Isn't she lovely, just done 150 miles and watched her hit 81k!

[Albert Ross]

I just came!

Q's:1. Are you keeping it?2. Is it a 1,4?3. If A=no, wanna sell me it. Collection no problem

[Torsten2001]

Hmmmm1. Dunno2. yip!3. maybe!at some point you may look at it and we can perhaps discuss whether it's future should be North or South of the Thames...I can vouch for it being a tiny bit short of lovely!

I was going to bid on this one, but it got pulled by the seller.

Looks quite smart on the Audi (?) alloys

Ooh, even still has both bumper bolt covers. Nice.1.4 Renner lump is not fast in a 340 but pretty much indestructible.

[Milford Cubicle]

Is the 1.7 lump a more modern OHC as opposed to (presumably) some ancient Renault OHV in the 1.4?

[r.welfare]

Yes, 1.7 is OHC, as featured in the 5 GTX, later 9/11, 19, and 21 plus the 440/460.1.4 is the old pushrod lump in 72bhp guise, so same trim as the high-spec 5s, 9s and 11s. I've heard 150k is easily achievable, my own 340 was a low-miler with 36k on it though!

Very cool and not so many around these days. Our music teacher at school had one new identical to that in 87 and kept it for years.

[Split_Pin]

Very nice indeed - same colour as my Stahlberg model one.My Dad had a 1.4 when I was little and I remember crying when he accidentally snapped the gearstick top off in his frustration at his gear selection error when pulling away at a roundabout

I was driving a J-plate one last night. First time in years I've used a choke.
