RE: PH Heroes: Peugeot 205 GTI 1.9
Discussion
The amount of responses to this article prove the ability and love for the 205 Gti, maybe nothing this side of a mini could have the same, and I cant imagine anyone ever feeling the same about modern hot hatches in 20years time.
My first car was a 1.6 GTi D '87 - still one of the best cars I have ever had including a lot of sports cars! The purity and simplicity of the car made it such a joy to drive. Looked amazing in Red and could be hussled a long any road with such delicacy.
if ever D240 UVO ever were to still exist and be for sale I might have to haver her back!! first love!

Great thread. Here's a couple of pics of mine. It's one of the 25 '1FM' models made in 1992. Used on dry days only!

I still remember my 1.6 gti in black.
H193GLA, most fondly remembered out of all my cars, went everywhere in that and lots of fond memories.

Your 205 looks great, and I am automatically bonded to it even watching it(knowing how well it drives). I like the way you painted the alloys, I could the same. Is it graphite inside, and on the outer edges silver?http://www.205gti1fm.co.uk/
I've just got my 1989 1.9 GTi back on the road after 12 years of it being hidden away in my dad's garage. I wish I'd done it sooner. It takes me back to my childhood!!I had a 1.6 when I was 18 & the memories just flood back. I run a 330ci sport as an everyday car and the Pug feels so much more alive & certainly quicker at low down revs.
I shall NEVER sell it. Here's to another 15 years ownership.

Ha ha. So the old girl is famous. Although, the reg number had been photoshopped!!
I purchased this car off of Johnny back in October. I paid nowhere near the price quoted in the article though.
All running good a few new bits were needed. Exhaust, metal water pipes and various other pipes.
Other than that it still flies and has me grinning from ear to ear.

Isn't it riding a bit low at the back?I purchased this car off of Johnny back in October. I paid nowhere near the price quoted in the article though.

Was at Santa Pod some time ago. Saw a Yellow 205GTi with a black bonnet... Rather quick it did an 11.2 @ 132mph!!
He was up against a White 205 which did a low 13's.
I believe the White one was a very good MI16 conversion and weight reduction
The yellow one with a black bonnet had forced induction and the word on the stand was the car was pushing 500 bhp ....
