405 MI16X4

[A205GTI]

So bought this off of Ebay a couple of weeks ago, did the 200 mile trek home with no problems.

Took it to brothers garage to have a quick nose around it.

Went in Garage for Service and Cambelt this week, jobs done include

Replace front Brake hoses and Calipers
Full Service
Replace Cambelt and Waterpump

Jobs left to do are as follows

Replace Aerial
Replace Rear and Passenger Side Window Motors
Replace small plastic by handbrake (Cracked)
Get Headlight Washers(Missing)
Sort small leak in hydralic hose.

Only 6 left on the road so am quite chuffed.

Anyway here are some Pics.

Very nice, I keep trying to get hold of one of these but can never seem to find one for sale at a good price.

Retro cool, what do these drive like?

[zedx19]

Awesome! What did this set you back?

[omgus]

There has been a spate of rare, 90's, fast (ish) french metal on PH recently. Love it.

Always liked these, i hink i'm off to hunt for a ZX Volcane 16v now.

[Leins]

Excellent! Good work keeping a rare beast going

Always really liked that wheel design too Back when Peugeot made great wheels to go with their great cars

[A205GTI]

It sticks to the road, different gearing to the 205, Not as quick but higher gearing on the motorway. but can shift when it needs to.

Very comfy.

Cost £1000

Chap before me had it 4 years and did about 1500 miles a year clock shows 110,000 so not to bad for a 23 year old car

[petrolsniffer]

Very nice!

Always wanted one but they're getting very thin on the ground now

[Mouse1903]

Awesome car, even better the fact it's mega rare!

[jack01825]

very nice car but i cant help thinking there must be more than 6 as there is yours and 2 more on ebay alone?

[northandy]

Is it 4wd?, i dont ever remember hearing of these back in the day, i remember there was a 4wd version of the renault 21 which iirc was called the quadra

[MarvinManUK]

Super rare.

Brilliant catch, I hope it treats you well.

Yep, they did quite a few AWD versions of the 405, like the 8v 1.9 SRix4

The 2 on ebay are FWD Mi16's, one of them looks like a Lemans with the S16 engine. This one is a 4x4 Mi16, very rare car.

They were a very fast car in their day. I like it.

[Simes205]

Slower to 60 than the 2wd but far more grip.
The engine of a written off one lives in my 205.

[hogfisch]

This looks identical to my previous Mi16x4 (if it hadn't met an untimely end by catching fire).

Enjoy the grip-tastic ride!
