205 XS - impossible to find?

[gcpeters]

Hello

I am on the prowl for a 205 XS, i can find GTI's no problem. Has anyone had any luck in finding one of these recently or are they going the way of the dodo

thanks!

I can appreciate that, my first car was a 205 XS and part of me would love one again. Mine ended up with a Janspeed exhaust and two big K&N filters on the twin weber carbs and it sounded fantastic. Then I crashed it and had a bodykit fitted and sprayed Kawasaki green... Think it ended up wrapped round a tree by the guy I eventually sold it onto.

Same for me, i also had the Janspeed exhaust with rotted through! I had the GTI bodykit on mine and loved that thing....

That’s the one

The one on eBay that went for £1200 looked ropey too though

Had to be a 3-dr not a 5-dr?

Ah, the XS only came in a 3dr, appreciate everyone's help here!

No I was wondering whether you’d be happy with a GT rather than an XS

ah, yes has to be a 3 door XS but thanks for checking!

to bring the thread back to life, i am still looking! A few ratty ones have come up but i am still looking for a phase 2 in red....

No, it's not a 205 or an XS but it's certainly a very, very worthy alternative:

always wanted one of those, but never did in the end..... not an XS though
