dollywobbler Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Would this have still had the daft round-the-corner fanbelt arrangement as per the 304, or did these have electric radiator fans?If only I had some space....sigh This will be a lovely little car to drive.Aye, and I might be temporarily without non-2CV car if I can sell the Alfa. It's attracted two bids now though - Pog and I have another rival... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I thought some had the lights like that? You can only have them at a certain height - maybe the 4x4ness causes the change? As in: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrRegieRitmo Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 Maybe it should have the later square lights then? Something isn't right about how it looks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dollywobbler Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 I'm pretty sure that 2WD have indicators low, 4WD have 'em high, though later army ones had the headlamps in the bumper from what I remember. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can only have them at a certain height - maybe the 4x4ness causes the change?I think DW is right - the change probably keeps the headlamps within the required legal height limits (measured from the road?).

Spottedlaurel Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 This is interesting, being suitably local and looking in decent nick... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1989-ROVER-216-GS ... 0332385637 Honda engine isn't it? I'm sure it was a GSi that my mum and stepdad had. Also in my watch list, at different ends of the Nissan spectrum: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0400113441 Rubbish photo, neatly capturing this Maxima's over-long front overhang. I wouldn't want to spend a lot on on one of these due to their head gasket/auto 'box issues, but I would consider a bid if it stays at sensible money (ie be prepared to break/scrap it if it went badly wrong). http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 0358693661 If it stayed stupidly cheap I might go for this, simply because it's so close to home I could go and fetch it on my bike. Don't want to spend a fortune on anything, as long-term a Camry like this is my aim: Got to be a 2.2, ideally a Sport with manual 'box. To get one with decent history and sensible miles it looks like I'm going to have to spend £1500 or so, which I don't have to hand right now hence this search. Tomorrow we wave goodbye to the trusty Carina E, as it's off down to father-in-law's to become his transport. I replaced a chunk of exhaust on it last week, probably the first time for it in 13 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spottedlaurel Posted July 19, 2009 Share Posted July 19, 2009 That taxi's ace! LPG too, so would actually be quite a rational purchase. Wish I had the money for it. Another fairly late 340, again local so added to my list: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BLUE-VOLVO-5-DOOR ... 0468024899 Proper one-owner thing. Oddly, says it had PAS fitted in 1996.
