Nice motor, dunno about them being very rare though. I've seen at least 3-4 of those GTi ones for real in the last few years. Still nice mind.

the rare bit is the "turbo"quite a few GTis around - that's a different car usually with an autobox and a pallas interior - torsten has one - nice motors in their own right but the Gti Turbo on a manual box is a hooligan of a car

I thought all the GTis were turbos to be honest.

- this is what I thought too. There are two incarnations of the Turbo. There's the Series 1 metal bumper 'GTi Turbo 1' and the Series 2 'GTi Turbo 2' the T1 is the rare and sought after example and it's faster. There are also cross overs. There is a Series 2 'Turbo1' I believe that just overlaps the change from the CX 1 to the CX 2 in 1985. It has the T1 engine and 'box in a series 2. There is also the later GTi T2 with intercooler. T1 is from about 1982-1985 and the T2 is from 1986 till the end in 1989.The only non- Turbo GTi CX I know of it the first GTi from 1977 with the 2.4 engine and Bosch K jet tronic but it didn't have a 'Pallas' interior - there was always an exclusive 'GTi' interior - for these first ones it was a two tone black and white situation. Later, for the T1 the interior was the 'chevron' pattern or dead cow. Funnily enough the ebay CX ^^ has the wrong seats, they are leather but they're not from the GTi they're from a CX Prestige or a special order Pallas. The GTi T1/2 leather seats were mad looking sporty affairs.

you may be right - I'm trying to recall if the one I had - which torsten now owns - is a turbo - it certainly wasn't the Turbo 2 which is the rare one I was referring to.my (torstens) one has the pallas non leather interior with the extra fag lighters etc a 3 speed auto box and is Gti badged - it was the Grand Tourer and is a rare car in its own right - quick enough and may well have had a turbo I just can't remember...torsten will know

On a french theme there is a Xantia Activa for under 200 sheets on ebay at the mo.http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/1996-CITROEN-XANT ... 286.c0.m14

Had a silly punt of £350 on this, but was outbid. :( Probably good though as it will require its suspension to be serviced in about 10k and its at the other end of the country.
