That Skoda is lovely but not 10k worth of lovely.

 

We had an S reg one in what was Battleship Grey IIRC back in the mid 80's with tiger pattern furry seat covers (fitted when we bought it)! I remember dad putting sandbags in the boot at the front in the snow as it slid everywhere, including into a parked car one day!

1. Take an old Commer bus and paint it in the most period incorrect colours, including the windows.

2. Put your old tat from yet another period in it.

3. Festoon it with an array of cheap Chinese Poundland lights, and a stupid out of place looking ladder.

^^^ I am all for relieving the stupidly wealthy of some of their cash. Trickle-down economics.

The best bit is the query over whether shipping will be £30?

On Leboncoin (click pic for link) - €2800.  Suddenly £4995 for an immaculate one in Skeggy doesn't look too bad.

Hasn't run for 10 years

Engine seized

Missing a few parts

The price is a bit high but the parts sell for the price of gold

Sorn Me pointed out 'trickle down economics', I hope stupidity doesn't work the same way.

On the subject of 'desirable' French hatchbacks, take what is the probably the least desirable 205 GTi ever (1.9 but with 105bhp, drums, fabric seats and AUTO box!) and play on its Japanese market attributes and low production numbers (because crap) in order to ask mind-boggling price.

Surely there's no uber-staunch Peugeot-lickers that need to own every type of 205 GTi made, are there?

Did the 1.9 Automatic GTIs come with smaller 1.6 wheels to try and offset the terrible acceleration through the auto box, or is that one just wrong then?

I don't like 205GTIs anyway, I think they're massively overrated but putting a cripplebox in one seems to be a really good way to make it terrible.

Auto box models aside, there seems to have been two Japanese models of 205 GTi; one just like the aforementioned, with the 105bhp (!!) 1.9 motor, 1.6 wheels, drums, cloth seats and fugly front side repeaters resited in front of the front wheels. Then there was the other, which was pretty much European spec but with a 122bhp motor, as ours is. I'd say that a vast percentage of the Japanese versions are/were whizzing round NZ roads and most seems to have been imported in the mid-1990's. 

 

I felt the need to itch the scratch vicariously through buying the missus a 205 GTi and it fits the bill for her so well (barring lack of PAS) that I'd struggle to suggest what to replace it with, especially for the sub £1k it cost 3 years ago. Must say it puts my Visa GTi to shame in all but comfort.

I had the use of one for a couple of weeks - I tried my hardest to drive it like a lunatic but it just didn't inspire confidence. I've had more fun in a Uno 55. Perhaps I had a bad one but it was a full fat early 1.9

I like the idea of the 205GTi ortoe. Never found one when I was looking and not going after that one!

The 1.6 one-foot-o-matic wasn't very convincing, not enough torque and too many ratios but maybe the 1.9 would have been ok?
