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?

Classified Ad price: £49,950.00

 

When I  bought this car I gave three cars and a lump of cash one car was a Rolls Royce Wraith 11 in spotless condition and two Audi.s a S6 v8 and a TT . And then started restoring it .

I've done some daft things in life, but this gets the biscuit.

That's just hilariously shit! I quite like the actual Excalibers - this looks like someone has tried to copy one, based on a short description. Sent by fax machine.

The Sunny has a "Make an offer" box. Maybe try £150 and see if you can strike a deal at around £250?

^^^Fuck me but that Excaliber thing is awful.

 

It's the worst thing since that Bmw / Jensen Interceptor mutant, thing, thing.

 

If I win EuroMillions I will buy it and have it shredded.

Looking at the Excaliber man's other ebay items, he runs a breakers yard for mainly Rolls Royces and Bentleys. He must have raided his own parts bin to come up with this Turdmobile and then changed its name to Excaliber by deed poll.

My other half wanted one of those Beauford - things as a wedding car.

 

She was told to fuck right off, I was'nt going to be seen dead in something that looked like Liberace should be driving it.

I blame Quentin Willson.

 

He was saying that early RR's were fetching 50k the other week in the Sunday mirror.

 

This week the one to watch is the jensen interceptor,according to his column.

That baldy headed twat probably just goes and buys one, puts it in the paper as a 'hot tip' then chucks it back in the auctions the following week (with a few less miles on LOLOLOLOL) hoping for a quick PROF based on the market 'clamour' he thinks he's created.
