Inspiral_Mondays Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Just read about this today. Peugeot 305 4x4! The drive system is from the French company Dangel who also converted 504s and 505s. egg, Austat, puddlethumper and 5 others 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr_Bo11ox Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 Looks rubbish that doesn't it. The 205 is so neat but that rear side window looks a total lash-up. I could do better myself! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adw1977 Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 The rear quarter metalwork is reminiscent of the 309, which also used the 205 doors. Aston Martin and Inspiral_Mondays 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timewaster Posted February 18, 2020 Share Posted February 18, 2020 I can't decide if I like it. I love 205s, and they have incorporated the little grey grill element from the 3 door at the base of the window. Some earlier prototypes were simpler. But I think they are a bit bland. I also found a prototype 309 break, which I like. Imagine that in gunmetal grey and Gti spec. Or more likely for us, with a mismatched door, painted steels and belching chip scented smoke out the back.

I only found out myself recently, can't remember if it was on here or elsewhere. Quite a clever bit of cost saving design really, the 309 looks a lot bigger than the 205 and yet the doors don't look too small. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What was not cost saving was the warranty claims on leaking boot on the mk1 309 due to bonding the metal sill onto the frameless glass, argument was Porsche can do it.Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vulgalour Posted February 26, 2020 Share Posted February 26, 2020 Neckars seem to be a whole bunch of rebadged Fiats and NSUs sold in Germany and France. It did cause me to find this, the Autobleu. It's a pretty impressive restyling of the Renault 4CV. Austat, adw1977 and Datsuncog 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
