Because I need one to go with the Volvo I won today of Ebay ;D  Comes with a tartan rug as standard!!!Inspired by the recent thread on Ovlov 340's I bid and won the one above  At £57.00 it aint too bad me thinks, I spoke to the seller a minute ago and will be be picking it up Tuesday next week. I should be able to get a new clutch cheap from GSF as my bro works there  Hopefully once that's fixed it should be a reliable back up to the Viva for a few months and if it passes it's next MOT then it may become a keeper  Can't wait to see how sideways it goes  I checked on the DVLA website and although it says in the advert the tax has expired the DVLA says it has tax till November 2007!!! So they must have retaxed it, have not asked if that's included in the price or if the guy wants extra, will find out next week, maybe that's why he sounded so curse word off on the phone  |

 it doesn't matter if it's a Morris Marina or a Toyota Celica - it's what you do with it that counts |

Bargain just get the cambelt done and it should be fine. If you have any running issues, it'll likely be down to the carb - and this is well documented over on 300mania. Should go sideways enough The 340's are notoriously more tail happy than the more balanced 360 (different fuel tank location, more even weight distribution). |

Even Amazons have volcanic heaters (& they warm up quicker than those on 850s, according to my step-mum - she & dad used to have my car & replaced it with an 850 5 years ago), and the models with heated front seats are very comfy BTW, if you find two flat caps, can I have one? I already have the rug |

God I miss the heated seats our 440 had. Did you know that the 300 was the last mainstream car to use leaf springs on the back?
That'll last forever and be completely indestructible. I still hanker after a 240 GLT but my wife refuses to go in one.

57 Squids.... Hmmmm pleasure of an average Italian dinner for two, forgotten after the smell blows out of the loo next morning....
57 Squids for a Ovlov..... with 1.8 motivation...... Pleasure and keeping it a lot longer than the memory of dinner...... PRICELESS.
Well bought.

Thanks to the PCD knowledge thing on this site I have discovered it's 4x100 which means J-Rim compatiability8-) Hope the heated front seats do work SteveP ;D Checked out that 300mania site/forum looks very useful Booked a day off work on Wednesday so I should be able to get the clutch changed and if I have time do the cambelt and give it a good service Look out for it in Readers Rides on Wednesday |

Hopefully once that's fixed it should be a reliable back up to the Viva for a few months and if it passes it's next MOT then it may become a keeper
