retrogeezer Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Had to do a double take! Took a couple of pics - will upload them later.
retrogeezer Posted October 30, 2008 Author Posted October 30, 2008 Here we go - Taxed and in use by the look of it....child seat in the front. Forgot these had a single wiper, I left a note on it.
Anglevan Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Wow - how rare is that, all must have got thrashed and crashed in the eighties - power to weight meant these were quite a pocket rocket.
garethj Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 The thinking man's 205GTi Well, maybe not but cool anyway
mk2_craig Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Splendid! A schoolfriend's mum had a red GTi around 1991, got rear-ended sadly and replaced by a Volvo 340 saloon.What's the "nipple" on the driver's side next to the tailgate?
Split_Pin Posted October 30, 2008 Posted October 30, 2008 Hey thats pretty smart - I dont ever recall seeing one of these in the metal when they were current - shame
mnde Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 Lovely, but seeing those pictures gives me images of me surreptitiously getting out some trim restorer spray/cream and rubbing it into the faded bumpers and trim Mark.
Mash Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 A guy I know had one of those new in the 80s. He told me it was seriously quick. Haven't seen one for years.Definitely needs those bumpers sorting!
retrogeezer Posted October 31, 2008 Author Posted October 31, 2008 I left a note on it....with a good polish and treatment to the trim/bumpers it would look very tidy.Fingers crossed I might get a call one day.
Owain-328i Posted October 31, 2008 Posted October 31, 2008 WOW ive not seen one of those on the road in a very long time. Do they fetch good money in good nick? or are they a forgoton gem?
