RE: SOTW: Peugeot 205 GTI 1.6

[ALBA MELV]

A black 1.6 with aftermarket wheels. Just like my 2nd car, H86 MDU. I LOVED that car!

[sjabrown]

Can't go wrong at that. I bought a 1.9 last Christmas for £1300. Bit of a shed but never let me down in about 5,000 miles of summer motoring till the MOT expired. Cheap fun motoring.

[Prawnboy]

good shed, always fancied the 1.6 over the 1.9 for some reason.

[dbdb]

A good Shed of the week.
I'm not a fan of hot hatches, yet love the 205 GTI. It is already a classic; I'm sure it will become very sought after in time.

AWESOME SOTW ... especially for a french lover lol!!

Plus excellent fail on the advert reproduction, thank crunchie its friday eh haha

[Dan Trent]

Apologies on the advert copy SNAFU everyone; link and pics were correct but, as spotted, the copy was from another ad of a SORN'd car our correspondent had been looking at.

All square now.

Cheers!

Dan

[Zumbruk]

Still gorgeous after all these years.

Hot Hatch ??? pah - for £995 this could run rings round a Pug 205GTI and it'll do 40 mpg on the motorway ...

Thank goodness that I'm not the first one on here that doesn't get the hot-hatch thing. It's all a bit new-school, Craig David, tight T-shirt, cheap aftershave.

It was posted as an homage to 300bhp/ton

Great sotw, well done ph!

[scotty_917]

Very tempted by a cheap 'evo' car at the moment!

SHED back to FORM, officially.

Prime example of how you on your island get all the good stuff cheaper
because of rhd. Would be 3 times the price over here.

GREAT little cars. But I fxcked up buying the right one when they
had their lowest phase. And I won't run behind the market, now.
No I won't,... will I?

Cheers, Martin 480 Turbo

Yes - the benefit of a small, insular market.

I'd rather have the Cadillac too!

But would prefer an old Jag to either...

Get the original pepperpots back on her and she'll be all good. I had both 1.6 and 1.9 back in the day and the 1.9 is the better car but no one can accuse the 1.6 of not being a great.
