My Pug 306 S16
Damn ive only owned this car for about 18 months, the engine has had some work, new head gasket, new nissen alloy rad, cleaned the interior out now so it looks good and she should be back on the road by summer, though there are a couple of small rust patches that need sorting out (ive a mate who can do that for me though )
Cost me 410 quid off ebay, the rad gave up the ghost and caused the engine to overheat, hence the head gasket failure runs like a dream now but needs a little bit of work (brakes need stripping/replacing, exhaust is dead, wheels are corroded to hell and im not sure how good the bushes are just yet) but its all work in hand
Current mileage is 72.5k
Some pics.

Just a couple of things to watch on em, depends on miles also but the cambelts are prone to fail if they aint been changed by 30-36k miles, other 306's have a 72k mile change, rear beams on high mileage cars wear, they then catch on the rear arches, shouldnt be too bad on a car with low miles (shouldnt tell), but there is a red one for sale on the autotrader with 65k on the clock (just under 3k) but doesnt say if it has service history or not (trade)
Oh and they came in 3 colours, red, black and white

Rallyes go like the last shape civic type r. And the brakes are fooking awesome, same as my old "6" - when I chopped that in for my old MY99 UK turbo I wondered where the **** its brakes were compared to the pug!

Peugeot quoted 8.5secs on the GTi-6, slightly less on the rallye, the "real figures were more like 7.2 on the GTi and 6.9 on the rallye, about 19 secs to 100 and very torquy for a NA engine
One gave my PPP'd classic a good run for its money, it wasnt as quick but it still didnt get out of my rear view mirror as quickly as id have liked it to

Chief,
Just do a search in autotrader thoughout the country, low mileage/fsh ones are your best bet, though they may come with a higher price tag to boot
Have a few hundred quid left over, always worth doing a couple of minor bits to these cars, they run quite warm (90+ on the temp gauge) so dont be alarmed, but the radiators do have a tendancy to rot from the inside (an uprated all alloy nissenone will cost you about 90-100 quid from Untitled Document who are based in burnley i think).
Most other parts are cheap, standard brake components are excellent considering, upgraded ones will stop you even better but you wont regret buying one, just be fussy
