Shame this has already fallen into "driveway dealer" hands - but what a cracker.  Worth looking at just to admire the sparsity.

Your chance to own the last unrestored Peugeot 205 GTi..... IN THE WORLD [/Clarkson Voice]

 

s-l1600.jpg

 

Some twunt has had a go at 'improving' it - but if you nip it in the bud now, you could have a bit of a hoot.  Still more than you'll catch me paying for an 80s hot hatch, but prices have been on the climb on these for 10 years.

Not entirely sure why the steering wheel has been fitted to the window, but if this sort of thing floats your boat it's in Foulmouth and is ten grand

It's an ex-customs boat too, so with a bit a luck and some time spent searching you might find some 1970's jazz mags.

On a Peugeot (pron pyoojoh) tip tonight y'all.

 

My best friend in the whole world had a bit of a time of it back in '03.  Chucked in the job and had a string of £250 cars bought in nightclubs.  When his R8 'declared' - he bought one of these Trio models.  A year later it needed fixing, and he just left it with the garage rather than paying the bill.  

 

Anyway - CHECK IT.

 It is a 'happy' car - you feel like you are back in the early 90's

 

Wow.  Finally someone who gets me.  The 90s were the fucking best - and I'm happy to 'take it outside' with anyone who wants to disagree, either privately or otherwise.

 

 

 

 It has a carburettor, a manual choke and wind down windows.

 

 

Fuck off already.  I'm fully engorged anyway.  This is like the time I took viagra even though I already had a raging boner.  

 

I am so aroused right now.

ETA - those doorcards tho.  Remember in the 90s when everyone had striped wallpaper - A DADO rail - and then a complimenting emulsion above?  It's the same but different!

Bless, this lad hasn't got a scooby doo about cars...

...and neither have I.  So we could be best friends, hunnit percent.

 

 

 

  Peugeot has stopped producing the parts and I don't know enough about cars to make parts or have parts made.

 

Free GWRfm car sticker from circa 2001 though!!1!  From memory, the green 'splat' was GWR Bath - whereas GWR Bristol was blue and Swindon was red.  I might be wrong on the latter front, but I can definitely sort you out a signed photo of my old mate Graham Torrington if you so wish.

Helpful on the rare occasion a LBC seller gives you a pic of the CT details, as there is no online checker, because France.

 

A lot of these cars popping up because of the new corrosion rules this year?

Here you go Bo11ox, someone's already started to convert this one.  It's the 150bhp version so should go alright, and on this year it should still have a proper 6-pot Cummins engine rather than a pissy little four like the later ones.

"Rare classic" - I was hoping they were extinct. Not a single redeeming feature.

I think you might be on the wrong forum.

This parts section P4 doesn't look too bad as these go - it still has the bottom of its front wing for starters.  Unfortunately it's in Llandiddlyo, which makes me most definitely oot.

I am seriously considering having a punt on this Humble Septic.  It may be rusty, but it's got a Norwich plate - not only that but it's in the same series (HVG***L) as my Volvo.  Besides, I've seen front wings far, far worse than that on Arrows, so it can't be all bad.
