A pair of Oakleys

Please ignore hungry Jim as he has problems

a good place to look is www.jackals-forge.com the website of richard morris and a 340 owner (or former owner as he was trying to sell it a while back)

prices are about 20k for a good one - ie 190bhp conversion and hasn't caught fire yet

I think there was a 340 group on yahoo a while ago but I don't know now.

Great cars - but expensive - heres my tip - don't leave the lights on by mistake - to replace the battery usually involves taking the clam off - about £800 in labour iirc !!!!

Haydon Cars in Salisbury, Wilts, have a 340r for sale (last time I looked about 1 month ago).

Low mileage I think, looked clean from chips and scratches, etc, with a 340 inspired plate on it.

[marki]

what sort of dosh are we talking about here ?

[135sport]

The one at Haydon's, not sure.

In the 20's I think, probably someone will tell you thats too much, etc. I guess it all depends how much the seller really wants to get shot of it.

Give them a call, 01722 410077, it don't cost much to ask.

bell & Colvill have one at 24k - about 2k too much imho
