I am considering buying a 1.6 litre 205GTI and prepare it for hillclimbing and sprints for my 2 sons to enjoy.
Car will still be taxed and mot for road, so they can drive it to local events.
Is there a specialist site /dealer for this type of car?

www.205gtidrivers.com - come over to us and feel the love for the 205's. There are plenty of buying buides and people who use their 205's for racing or track days (myself included)

you can see my old mi16 and new 8v on my website www.mckeown-enterprises.co.uk

good luck

Brendan,

Poor car. After such an easy life, it's in for a shock

It did seem to go faster the more i used it, probably is only just run in. Must add great cars, just something about them.....better than a scooby!

..the most infamous tuning company in 205 circles, plenty of write ups about them over on 205drivers and other sources

Pass me an ultra long bargepole please

Just had a read on the 205 forum. Not a good word to be said about them really! How the hell are they still in business with such bad write ups from customers?

205 GTi are available in most fields near a sharp bend with a 205 shape through the hedge!!!!

Pistonheads has lots of cars for sale at approximately double what they are worth. One I phoned about that was well priced but only had 2 cylinders working

there are always good cars for sale over at www.205gtidrivers.com and psooc (www.pughosting.co.uk/forum)

Piloted by people who cant drive

Its all a myth (sort of ), just like those that slate MR2 handling, a good driver can drive them without problem.

And an idiot who can't drive behind the wheel

Dunno m8 - mad, still must be loads who aren't on the boards to find out!
