Wow. That interior and dash really brings back memories. I had the Red 1.9 and a Graphite 1.6. Fantastic cars.

Evening chaps... you knew I'd turn up after a sniff

I've got a book "Peugeot 205 - The Story of a Challenge" by Jean Todt which I've heard is pretty rare. Excellent read about the whole original idea, design process, the T-16 homoglation special edition etc. Very informative book indeed

I think I still have that brochure too. The 205 GTI had a very big influence on my life in the late 80s/early 90s

Thats why I'm keeping mine 1990 on 77k miles, must be one of the lower ones around. Bought it off a guy on here back in 2004. Dropped to half what I paid for it, now its worth the same again

Cracking cars! Got my first 1.9 GTi at 18 and didn't roll it until I was 20

Had 4 205 GTi's in total - so much fun I used to frequently just go out for a drive in those! Not driven anything since with the instant throttle response of a 1.9!

I had a B reg mk1 1.6, looked good but never felt all that quick, got a Mk1 1.6 GTI Golf and that was more like it, I think mine wasnt on par, nearly got a 1.9 but they were pricey, a mate with more money bought one and put it in a field on its roof, got the insurance money bought another and repeated the exercise on the same road !

I had a Sorrento green 1.6GTI first which had rare half leather and PAS. Later I bought a 1.9GTi in silver/grey.

Loved them to bits, felt really special at the time. My wife (then my girlfriend) still remarks how much she loved them as well

B reg would put it with the early 1.6 engine with 105bhp, revised around C/D plate to 115bhp which made it a bit more fruity! Also around the time they introduced the galvanised panels and hence why early ones rust worst!

I had a 1.6 205 GTI in white and then a blue 1.9 GTI
Now it was a long time ago, but I remember my seats were a lot better than those things?

They look like something you'd fall of going round a corner

205's - we are all showing our ages now..........

Brilliant little cars and good to hear the likes of Dave Thornton still alive and well - he was the famous editor of Torque magazine!

I had a 1.6 D-reg in grey (D163 CHN) and then a J-reg Gutmann 1.9 in blue (B2 PUG)...wonder where they are now?

Still keep and eye out for a Griffe edition for sale and went to see a Lazer Green 1.9 one the other week for 600 quid - jees's it was in bad shape and well beyond repair!!

Will dig out my 205 collection of mags and brochures tonight to have a look back,
Got 1st ten years of Torque mag and tons of dealer brochure's - i even have in my collection an original 70 page dealer service/promotion brochure on the 205 T-16.
It has engine cut-outs and all sorts of amazing pictures - paid £100 for it ten years ago, should be worth a few bob now.

Dave, is Tony Munday still alive and well?
