That's a lovely example - I still miss mine and sold it far too cheap 2 years ago! All that needs is a good hoover inside and a tickle of paint on the wheels

Good skills Nick.

I advertised my old one for £900 as it had a couple of niggly issues like siezed rear caliper, worn gear linkages - simple stuff but I was a 1st year apprentice on £490 a month so not economical to throw money at. It also had 150,000 miles on what I understood to be the original bottom end but refurbished heads, was absolutely sweet though and loved to rev

I got 20-30 different people emailing me, some offering peanuts, some full price. In the end I got an offer from a fellow 205gtidrivers.com forum member for MORE than I wanted - basically a Peugeot 106 1.1 runaround 10 years younger and £450

Last year when that 106 was written off (with me driving and my then 37 week pregnant wife-to-be inside), the engineers report valued the car at £950

I sold when there were more to be sold I guess and kinda wish I'd maybe thrown a bit more money at it... ah well

Can almost feel the drive just looking at the pics!

I had a couple. I had one of the early 1.9's with the old style dash and steering wheel, 1987. And A few years later I bought a 1990.

They probably don't feel quite the same now but when they were fresh they felt so sharp, the throttle responce was great low down.

Mine had had loads of engine work before i got it, one reciept i have is original purchase of £12,576 that was a lot of cash in the 90's..

ScoobyJawa

Nope they still feel like that

Nice example. I had a 87 1.6, a 88 1.9 and a 1991 1.9. All very cool cars. Sold the last two to make way for the scoob all those years ago.

I regret not buying a turbo technics 1.9 that was for sale - it was sorrento green and I think only one or two that had the proper conversion.

Always wanted a 1.9 turbo. I know its not considered the best way forward but I wouldn't care.

They do look well in silver. This is my old turbo technics 205. I did the show scene with this and a 309 Mi16 in the late 1990's.
