I loved it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hence why I said 'fair price' and not 'what's it worth'. It has rolled over in auctions at least twice that I KNOW OFF so no sign of that buyer and things are trickier now than they were a few months ago. 6 hours ago, tcornet said: I’m also in the market for an 80s hot hatch. I’ve bid on a couple of series 1 RS Turbos and 205 Gtis. The XR2 is also on my radar but in Mark 1 guise. I owned a super sport in my youth so fancy one as a left field option. the one here looks amazing but for a mk2 seems very heavy as mk1s go for that. Id say 10-12 would be fairer but in this market who knows. I’ve held back buying a RS last month in case the market drops Let's be honest more than half the fun is in the chase I was thinking £10k was more like the thing but would need someone to take a squint at it to make sure its collar matches its cuffs so to speak. 5 hours ago, wolverinemac said: Wish I had kept some of my cars. Sold my mint low mileage Honda Integra Type R (UK Version) - 4 year old with 18K miles for £8,000 and my Peugeot 205Gti 1.9 again silly cheap money and sierra Cosworth. Hindsight is a wonderful thing. I have no desire for another 205 1.9 Gti despite owning an 89 minter back in 1991, wifey and I had far more fun (in every sense of the word) in the XR2 than we ever did in the 205.

Also some guys on a 80s facebook page mentioning it, with that mileage id say about 12/13k. I use to have a 5 GT turbo and a series 2 escort back in the day and really wanted the Astra GTE MK2. I detailed a Pug while back for the owner and hes entered it into shows, after i finished it i was showering compliments on it he let me take it for a spin, wow the memories of being 19/20 again with your mates in little hot hatches. All these cars are decent investments if you have room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menoporsche Posted May 7, 2020 Report Share Posted May 7, 2020 We know when the new MINI was first released, it was very VERY popular here as a driver's car. An old friend of mine, who I'd taken out in my 205GTi, got one of those Mini's, a not particularly hot version, and he said how much it reminded him of my 205.
