	Saw this little beauty for sale and couldn't resist. 1 owner who died shortly after taking delivery in 1982, remained with the family till this year when they decided to part with it. Genuine 4k miles. Hadn't been on the road for years, and being in northern ireland with a busy work schedule I bought it the only sensible way, blind. I got a call from the transport yard that it was in and decided to chance my arm with driving it the 20 miles home. Need not have worried, it performed faultlessly. Even the heated seats work. Done 300 miles so far to see what bugs need ironed out, not much I can find so far. I've changed the oil and filter but will do a full service soon....I've also got the wheels painted and new bf goodrich tyres on (originals stored). Looking forward to using it a bit in the spring!! image cdn free image cdn free image cdn free image cdn free image cdn free

	Wow! My brother had a beige 340 as his first car MANY years ago and even then it wasn't even close to the condition of this one! What an amazing time capsule!

	Very nice! I had one of these back in the mid 90's and it was a proper nice thing to drive and one of the comfiest cars I'd owned at the time. It was pale blue and had a toggle switch fitted to flick the fan on when it got too hot, lol. Fond memories.

	That is an absolute gem. Really loving the colour of the interior. As others have said it would be nice to see this kept stock. There can't be too many left in this condition especially as any solid ones all seemed to have been raked stupid on a drift track.

	Lovely! Fond memories of a mates A reg in the same colour. Bought in a hurry to replace his 205 GTi after he ran out of talent! Just spotted this closely registered Acclaim over on the beige...
