Ah right, actually sounds like you did the right thing selling... The 205 GTi needs to be spot on mechanically and chassis wise to feel "right". I still believe that apart from their cult hero status a 306 gti6 or Rallye is the better car for a daily driver classic. I'd still love a 205 mind... Probably a manual si set up for club events and rally

I didn't really have a choice to be honest - I needed a car I could tow a trailer with, so the 205 had to go. I replaced it with the most boring car I've ever owned - a dark green diesel Passat saloon. That one I ended up giving away.

On the 205GTi? Well the shell wasn't rusty, which was its good point. It wasn't straight either, which was the bad point. It had a hard life while I owned it, and I suspect an even harder life before I did, at least on one rather violent occasion. The interior was OK, but the rear parcel shelf came pre-chavved with huge speaker holes when I bought it. It also came with speakers, but the Finchley Latvian crew ripped them out before I sold it, along with the CD changer and head unit. Jolly nice chaps really though. Just a bit light-fingered.
