My car is Rob Millward's old car and it did handle very well with the 340.

Yes, mate been studying & researching as much info as possible.

The chrome along the sill, is the plastic gills (Whatever their called) its their silver colour which makes them look chrome. Put them back on the car last year.

As you say the mirrors look the same on the both pictures of AEG261J

In fact I think these 2 Cudas could be the same car
