Guess what I bought----

[RENOMAD]

I know that this is going to open peoples eyes but I bought a car this morning, and it wasnt a Renault but is is French. I will post pics in the next few days. I know this car for a few years. Part of my friends Peugeot Collection. He has another one so didnt mind selling , so long as he get 1st option to buy back.

 

Peugeot 505 GTI Auto.(c- plate). Approx 55000 genuine miles and its MINT.

Could you be about to recognise that the only true excellence in faith in French car worship is to follow the church of PSA rather than the self delusional Church of Renner Chod you have previously parked your jacksay in?

 

is this a dual carraigeway to damascus in a 505 Gti moment?

[dieselnutjob]

might be one of the most comfortable cars ever made, especially in slush box flavour

good buy

[Mr_Bo11ox]

Is it a V6?

[RENOMAD]

2.2 INJECTION------THE 4 Cylinder PRV Engine shared with Renault 20TX,,,25 GTX and various Volvos

 

 

Peugeot Renault Volvo-----PRV....Same designation given to the V6s used by the same companies (R30 ETC). That same V6 of course was used in the Delorean,Alpines etc etc.

[ProgRocker]

Ooh lovely. I always like those aggresive looking front ends on the 505s and 504s.

[boobydoo]

This is exciting news. Is it a minty green one? I've seen pictures of one in this colour that looks GORGUSS!!!

 

Can't wait to see pics!!

No its actually a kind of plum colour. My friends GTD Turbo Diesel is that kind of greeny minty colour.. Its fab. Here is his car.

prettier than the 405

[Pete-M]

Ooooh, RWD Pug love.

[Mr_Bo11ox]

I didnt know the 2.2 was a PRV job. Is it really the same as a Renner 25 engine? Most interesting.

[Luxobarges_Are_Us]

I hope you've got some secure parking for it because it's GR11 4 XPROT.

Yep,,,all alloy, ohc,timing belt etc etc....And actually the american version of the Fuego used this 2.2 also. They only got the 2.2 Injection and the Turbo, where we got the 1.4,1.6, and the 2.0L in the GTX(which is a smaller version of that same PRV engine.)

 

Actually Citroen have it in the CX Also

[dieselnutjob]

actually the PRV is the V6

the four cylinder is known as the "Douvrin" engine. I don't think it was used by Volvo but it certainly is common to pug cit and ren.

Some of the parts look very similar to the V6 but I think that the Douvrin is a tougher engine

Volvo had no need to use the Douvrin, as they had their own perfectly acceptable four pot:

 

 

 

GR9 buy, by the way, RM. One of my uncles had a dark blue A-reg 505 GTi back in the early 1990s. It was really spacious and comfortable

[Albert Ross]

The 2.2 also made it into the Espace..... and not forgetting the 2.1 Diesel that was available.... would one retrofit into your Pug to bastardise it?

Sorry,, I stand corrected ,,,,, but I'm nearly sure both engines were made in the same factory

[R9UKE]

Such a class looking car, LOVE 505s, one of my favourite Pugs!

[RENOMAD]

Here it is--nice plates . 49500 miles.

 

 

 

[Shep Shepherd]

That's lovely!

[dieselnutjob]

Are the wheels metric 390 or 15" ?

[hairnet]

class plate shame ya gotta re reg it

 

can ya 48 euro tax it or are ya gonna get bummed by vrt

[RENOMAD]

15'' thankd goodness

[boobydoo]

That looks very nice.

 

A Lynn Faulds-Wood style investigation using a 1985 Peugeot-Talbot brochure leads me to believe the colour might be Pagoda Red?

[carlo]

That's absolutely beautiful, with the much nicer early interior too. Think 1985 was the crossover year for that. Does it have A/C? And can you tell who the supplying dealer was, can't make out the sticker.

Sorry about the late reply on this one. Doesnt have A/C.....Supplying dealer was Regal Garage,Bromsgrove Ltd.

 

Now that I have my Wifes Koleos,and the 505, I think it may be Citroen time to complete the French Trio?
