pug 205

[jamie9048]

After many years I`ve inherited another immaculate 205 gti strut tops popped through

[Christophski]

Always liked and wanted a 1900 one of these. I know where there's one sat garaged for a number of years but with a running issue. I'm biding my time on making an offer on it

Inherited?

Still one of my favorite cars the 205 Gti, i'll have another one day. Gti 6 brakes up front?

[DJones]

Had one from new loved it... (Showing my age..) had a Richard Longmam conversion done 155bhp went like a rocket.....

Great little cars....

[jamie9048]

aye I have done the servicing and repairs for the last few years , he`s a nice bloke just got a shock this morning when he pulled it out the garage after the winter lay up, and when he saw the paint all split round the strut tops so came straight round to get a price for repair and then decided just to cut his losses so I made him a fair offer and we did the deal

[jamie9048]

Michael its just got standard brakes it`s all standard apart from being lowered took off a scorpion exhaust and replaced with original pug items last year

probably will sell after repairs done hope the money I get back will paint and finish my s2 off

Awesome, I've had a few of these over the years, in fact my first car was a white Rallye then i had a 1.9GTi, then a 1.6, then a 309GTi, then another 1.9 205, so you can tell i like them
I'd love to own one again, I always wanted a Miami blue one.

its funny that as there is a rallye shell in yellow at the local scrappie I've been looking at doing something with....

[Michael S2]

Stick a 16 valve engine in these (Mi16, S16 or Gti6) and they really shift. Standard ones are where the money is these days though. Good luck with it.

The front brakes look larger than i remember (its been a while).

Ha ha, I remember the 309's, hilarious little cars. A friend had one followed up by a Renault 11 Turbo that caught fire. Those were the days.

I never did own one of these. Had the chance to buy the 1.6 variant from a friend some 10 years ago but he crashed it en route to me. I was gutted! It was rapid off the mark for what it was.

The only car from that era other than the mk1 golf to be worthy of the GTI badge

[Jonnybravo]

Looks like a nice example, I once owned a 1.9 GTi and couldn't get over just how fast it was ! Great fun cars that bring a smile to your face everytime you drive them.... well until that lorry didn't stop when I was in queuing traffic

If a good example of one came up I'd probably have another, or maybe a 309 as that would be kind of cool have one as a road car as well as the plastic pig.

[rj scotty]

light+fast front wheel drive car = most fun you can have

That would be the mk2 lol..

I always had a soft spot for the 205. I remember looking at owning one, but I was never sure if I could have lived with the interior styled by Fisher Price. I preferred the 309 TBH.

A friend had one followed up by a Renault 11 Turbo that caught fire. Those were the days.

I had a friend that lost an R11 Turbo to a fire.
Mine caught fire 3 times in the first week I owned it, but luckily I caught them before they took hold. I fixed it by replacing all the crumbling turbo and exhaust manifold heat shields. Strange how it happened to me but not to the previous owners.

I loved that car, but a tractor drove over it while it was parked at home. You know what these kids are like when they're hedge cutting.
It's funny, because before I always vowed never to own a French car. But there is something about lightweight, FWD madness.
