It is difficult to keep up sometimes! I'm surprised its still for sale in that case. I thought a bag for a hot(ish) French hatch would have saw it fly out the door to a new owner.

lesapandre Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 "Typical French gear change"? Wossat...probs? Ad has a bit too much marzipan for me.

Cavcraft Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 For some reason I thought there was a place that were re-doing 160/65-315 tyres, but it would appear not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorfolkNWeigh Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 1 hour ago, Mr_Bo11ox said: In the past I have tried to find out if you can buy those Metro and Montego metric tyres now anywhere. I have given up looking and concluded you simply can't, not at any price. On the continent having the 'original' homologated tyre size is often an MOT requirement so i thought they might remain in low-volume availability over there long after everyone in the UK had swapped to imperial rims, (I remember dear departed Davenumbers battling with this issue actually) but I can't find anyone selling them anywhere. That would really piss me off big time if I had a nice D-reg Metro City X in clove brown and I could not put the original wheels and tyres on it even if I was ready to throw money at the problem. (Luckily I haven't got one so its not wrecking my sleep patterns just now) There used to be a place in Wolverhampton that made remoulds , they would pay good money for Granada/ BMW TRXs and Metro / Montego TDs(?) usable carcasses. A mate I shared a unit with did partworns and remoulds , he’d buy any bald metrics off the local scrappers and take them in his LDV Convoy when buying new stock. I seem to remember even they wouldn’t touch Jag metrics! This was in about 1995/6, so not strictly up to date info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlo Posted April 7, 2020 Share Posted April 7, 2020 This is a lovely thing, and I'm sorely tempted even though I don't really drive manuals. I sold these new in the late 80s and 90s and they really are wonderful things to drive. GT is the same as XS albeit more practical with 5 doors. This must be one of the last GTs as it seems to have the trim from the STDT, I sold these new and don't remember this trim on them, was usually the red and grey tweed. Very luxurious anyhow. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/PEUGEOT-205-GT-VERY-RARE-CAR/114156061563?hash=item1a943b437b:g:saEAAOSw0iNedpi~ 500tops, wuvvum and Skizzer 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was in South London and sold for about £400 BIN. Since been relisted, now in Tring for £900 but with full test. The seller's claim about failing on brake pads only seems to be genuine. TBH i wouldnt begrudge paying somewhere in the region of the asking price as it seems to be in good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
