Drivers seat looks a bit worn for only 77k miles.
Lovely colour though.

Want. (but ideally without sunroof, and NOT in Ireland...).

25 years of someone sitting on the bolster when getting in/out can easily knacker it over time, regardless of miles, I would have thought.

Why NOT in Ireland?

lol, nothing against the irish, but there's no way I can be ar5ed to go over to Ireland to buy a £3k car. I can rarely be ar5ed to travel >100 miles. I know, I want the moon on a stick, the perfect car in my backyard, etc.

To prove the point, I like this, and if it was just a few miles away, I might go and take a look, and would probably buy it, but as it is it's merely now just a contribution to the thread...

Very fond memories of the Fuego having worked in a Renault garage at the time. Particularly love the wheels ... who but the French would do wheels like that?

Now how about that hire car you had on holiday 20 years ago?

Just look at that dash .... what more do you need?

The advert didn't say 'Never raced or rallied' did it?

Absolutely - they all did that after only 30k or so. Looked worse on the 1.9 with the leather than the 1.6 on the fabric if the seams also wore out. This 'electric' blue is such a classic 80's colour but the Pug only had it late in the run so although it looks right, its actually a bit wrong in my memory (I had a black B-reg and a white E-reg in 1.6 guise), but the 205 was one of those rare cars that looked great irrespective of colour.

I've had a desire for a 9000 for a long time. This one is supposedly 2 miles away, and it may be one I've actually sampled from the passenger seat a few years back; if it's the same one the previous owner being an ex-workmate and car enthusiast. Hmm.

Nice to see such a clean, standard Turbo.

I've always wanted a 2-door Rangie. And now I want one with 6 wheels as well.

Lovely early E36. Advert is a bit wk though.

Budget busting, but 3 pedals are worth it.

It's miami blue - available from 1989, so had a fairly long run. I agree that the bolster looks pretty reasonable, and the price is very low for that mileage depsite its location!

Surely, racing heritage makes it more valuable .

It's probably not the same blue Clubman, and it was an excuse to post an image of a Alfetta GTV6 that looks good even at that angle.

That's not the original seats in that blue one. As a 1990 in Miami Blue it was a limited edition run and would have originally had a grey carpet and full grey leather seats. I used to have one! They still did Maimi Blue after 1990 but it was a slightly darker shade (although same paint code) and didn't come with the full leather or grey carpet.

This is what the interior should look like:

Hmm, I think it could be original - if it's Sept 1990 Phase 2 onwards it would've had that interior. It also has the lights and black dash of a Phase 2. All the ltd editions had the orange indictors and grey dash.
