Proud new owner of.....

[jayvee1980]

Well, I can confirm that I am now the proud new owner of this fine Volvo 340 Variomatic that most of you saw advertised on Car and Classic. We had a lovely drive home from Buckinghamshire to not so sunny Sussex on Sunday evening with no rain and not too heavy traffic. I think it's about the only time I was happy to sit in the inside lane pottering along behind lorries and the odd nervous or fuel conscious motorway driver!!

It has been well looked after and the vacuum change works spot on. Hopefully once I get my 66 sorted it will be as pleasant to drive. I'd forgotten how high they rev at 60mph, but I am used to the comforts of my Ford Focus diesel which sits happily at 65-70mph around 2250 rpm. But I am not deterred. Most of its travels will be around town to turn a few heads and the occasional jaunt up the A27 to visit relatives, so all is well.

Hopefully time will permit me to join on one or two of the Daf Owners Club gatherings, but I would love to pop up to Essex Dafs one afternoon regardless if the Volvo is welcome? When we get some decent weather I will take a few pics and post on here if I can work out how. Also some of the Daf when it ventures into daylight again for its first medical in almost 10 years!!

Hi Jayvee,

You and your Volvo will be more than welcome to pay us a visit, we don't have any 300 series on our fleet but it's still a variomatic and that's what matters to us. We're around most Sundays just let us know!

Glad to see that it has gone to a good home, i would love a 340 they were the most refined Volvo/DAF and drive very well.
