Due to continuing projects I cannot do what I wanted to do to this , alas , it is offered for sale.
1986 Volvo 340 1.4 4 speed manual with genuine mileage of 35,000 miles!
MOT till Feb 2016
It is painfully the cleanest one I have seen for along time, was an impulse buy but seriously I need to focus on other projects that are plain and simply more of my flavour.
Its pretty much as its left the factory (bar the radio-still have the original one to put in place!) even on its dealer plates still. I have put on at least 1,000 miles easy on it with no trouble! but I'm finding it hard to not rack the miles up, hence the sale.
Mechanicals: all checked over I have done the usual service a few months ago when I got it, including new plugs, filter, oil leads, replaced the fuel lines which was definitely needed so they are all safe! also done a new waterpump and put in a winter thermostat as well flushed the coolant etc etc
seriously no issues at all it perky lively and surprisingly well paced for what it is.
Gearbox brakes: all working fine no untoward noises and brakes are pin sharp.
Suspension: this was where I had plans but as expected nothing blossomed,. still on stock suspension as Volvo intended.
Bodywork: This is where for me the car shines. I mean the paint is a lovely solid red no fading or anything like that, and best bit of all it was garaged for most of its life and subsequently it doesn't have any of the dreaded thing red cars typically have of pink panels. It is all RED
also this shell has to be the best 3 door out there in my humble opinion?! No rust at all not needing any repairs nor has it had any welding repairs! Definitely a testament to the Swedish build quality here.
It does has the odd ding here and there and unfortunately before I owned it, it was keyed by a jealous animal on the passenger 1/4 panel, I will get pictures of this and it is a pain but repairable. its a shame but this was how I bought it but had plans to repaint the panel but it isn't too bad.
Wheels: Rolling on stock steels with hubcaps and 4 brand new champion tyres!
This seriously has a LOT of potential and I am gutted but needs must. I want it to go to a good home, and I feel the price is to me and what I have seen taking into account the mileage history and the fact its a RWD 80's retro hatchback that has a load of scope for a making it an even betterer car
I feel the price is fair. I am possibly open to offers once viewed.
Price: £1200 ovno NO SWAPS
Location: Bexleyheath Da6 - viewings most evenings and weekends.
contact:Pm me through here or call me (preferably!) on 07969696746
I will be getting more pictures of this this week I am mega busy t the start of this week. Here is one for your troubles a teaser shall we say?!
