You could always tell as the engine had a very french purr like sound.

Those 340's were really a bit poor at handling, but if you went barreling into a roundabout too fast they would lift a back wheel right up and bleed the speed off nicely.

Re: How many are left S1 V624v
I had a 340 for a while. Handling (didn't really have any) aside it wasn't a bad car really. Mine died when the propshaft splines stripped themselves outside Bicester.
It was an odd arrangement - an engine speed propshaft back to the transaxle where in the early 343 the elastic-band Variomatic transmission originally sat. It was easier to make a manual transaxle fit the space vacated by the Variomatic rather than modify the bodyshell to take a conventionally placed 'box.
The propshaft was made of alloy as far as I recall and if the spline pinch-bolts worked loose - as they did on mine - the splines got wrecked in a short while.
