Shitting in the shallow end. *Arse friends electric*

That interior is an ode to airy simplicity. Pez makes it all the more appealing!

Lovely! Where’s this on the Peugeot trim hierarchy of the time? I’m seeing wheel trims so (relatively) posh?!

It's pretty base. An XR but that doesn't mean anything. No PAS, keep fit windows, but it DOES have working central locking and a rear wiper.

That’s lovely, excellent purchase. The five door ones are much prettier than the three door ones (except the GTI) and it’s great to see a petrol one surviving. Even the dents are very characterful.

These went GL, GR, GT didn’t they? So mid-range. Or XL, XR, XT if differently doored, and not counting endless special editions in gaudy colours with an unwelcome sunroof and some tawdry stickers evoking package holiday destinations.

 

I seem to remember a Bulgin article in CAR in which he borrowed a 205 XRAD and had to go away and look up what such a bizarre model name meant. He translated it as ‘quite posh Diesel van.’

That's lovely. Mega low previous owners too! Blatantly been loved over the years. Weird dents though - how can a car look so clean and tidy whilst looking like an elephant has given it a few gentle love nudges?

You'll have to get a matching caravan for that sexy towbar.

What a lovely interior. Nice and safe* having the choonz mounted where you can adjust them without* taking your eyes off the road.

Hard to believe it's 30 years old. 90's French all seemed to be well rust proofed. My mazda of the same vintage on the other hand..

Yeah, I not long said to the missus "it's not bad for a 20 year old car". 

She said "it's 32 years old you fucking idiot."

When she's right, she's right.

Thanks for such an entertaining collection Jim, car looks a cracker though I fear that like Kenny I will be having nightmares about Harpy eagles now...
