Isn't this a 343? Never saw one in person but I believe this is the DAF that Volvo marketed as their own model. http://www.philseed.com/volvo-343.html -- Last edit: 2007-02-17 23:03:36 |

There was also a GL available. But I think it's a 'D' looking at the mark. But maybe wickey has something to say about it... .gif ";)") I say 1985-1992 model. But I don't know the English licenses... Made in Holland!! -- Last edit: 2007-02-17 23:15:57 |

yep, they were kinda popular - it is nowadays quite common to find on german ebay some good preserved 343 ones - lots of them were owned by old people who drove them to go shopping etc - I saw few with only about 30-40.000 kms on the clock, garagued etc for some 500 EUR - that is a good deal for almost new vehicles .gif ":)") |

post 1983MY they are 340/360 rather than the 343/345 'cos volvo changed the naming on the whole range. |

340 DL confirmed by Auto Trader website. The enquiry is complete The vehicle details for E639 VGG are: Date of Liability 01 04 2001 Date of First Registration 01 08 1987 Year of Manufacture 1987 Cylinder Capacity (cc) 1397CC One of these cars that used to be massively popular here but have now become virtually extinct. A guy I knew had one (indeed probably still has as he still had it last year). He was so interesting on the subject of it that I regretted telling him I liked cars. |

A few had even found the way to Down Under. At 1:16: http://www.myvideo.de/watch/5604326/Midnight_Oil_Beds_Are_Burning In 1988 I was very surprised to find a 343 in Vancouver.  I had known, that it was not availiable there officially. And I was very irritated about the many dents all around. But I found the reason. It had a "München"-sticker on the back. So someone had imported privately an unrestored survivor of the legendary Munich hail-storm of the 12.July 1984. |

Nothing at Wikipedia http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liste_von_Wetterereignissen_in_Europa, but I found an excellent Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gQ-nEDcwTpY @tonkaTRACKER: 1:59 Until that time it was the most expensive nature-catastrophe in Germany, also the biggest fire-brigade-operation since the WWII. Such "events" are making the employments of my wife and me safer and stronger - we are both working in mischief-departments of insurances. My wife pays crashed cars and injured people and me destroyed houses and furnishings. But they are no reasons for raising our salaries.  Due that otherwise no reason for me for doing overtime work.  Once, after the terrible "Kyrill"-storm in Jan.2007 I've done that. "So no way to get a monetary push-up, eeh?" After the answer "Definetely not" I've switched off my computer "My eight hours are full for today" and went back home. And I continued with that for the next weeks, though everything/anybody around was collapsing due the amount of work. |
