Just Bought Another 205

[Atari Boy 11]

I have just 'won' this 205.

 

 

It's a totally standard '88 1.6, I have not collected it yet but went to look at it a few days ago. It's done 200,000 miles and been off the road since '06 but been in the same family from 1990.

It's not mint but quite tidy, the beam is not seized and the sills have been replaced in the past.

Whilst I love my existing 205, it has a cage, buckets etc, so fancied a stadard car as well.

Was it alot? and 200k wow

[Atari Boy 11]

I won it for £295, 208,000 miles is shed loads I agree.

Time will tell how good a car it is .......

[BERTMAN 40 1 Cars]

i saw that on ebay... high miles, but cheap and looked ok!

[Daviewonder 533 3 Cars]

£295 is a bargain, hope it turns out to be a good one

[welshpug 1,675]

nice, an E reg too, is is PH1 or 1.5?

[Baz 421]

B@stard! You outbid me!!

 

looks like a good buy for the money seemingly these days.

[Atari Boy 11]

It's a phase 1.5, but it has electric windows, which I was not expecting.

Sorry Baz, I hoped I was not bidding against anyone here.

It's only 10 miles from me, so too good (I hope) to turn down. Nat and I are collecting it tomorrow.

good stuff Jonny, many pics please mate or is this being broken?

No worries mate, all's fair! I didn't rally expect to win it, was actually out and set a snipe on it, but think i was outbid before the snipe went in anyway!

[DaveW 6]

haha someone outbid Baz, like you need another! 88 is ph1.5

[Baz 421]

I only have 6, you always need another!

[Atari Boy 11]

My plan is to keep it Andrew and run it in the winter.

 

A few more photos from the advert. Is the sunroof deflector a Peugeot item or aftermarket?

 

With luck the rust in the boot won't take too much work to sort.

i had the same style boot rust as you have when i first got mine, it turned out that alot of that panel was filler, so a bit of screw driver + hmmer time later, all wa apparent and out came the metal bender and welder :/

[richsmells 2]

Nice buy. Sunroof deflector is OE. Mine had one.

[DaveW 6]

It dont look too bad, only when you get it home you can find some horriors or bodge jobs on it i love the white rear bumper too

[Richie 32]

Good purchase by the looks of it! I can also confirm the deflector is a pug item. I have one, welcome to the exclusive sunroof deflector club.

[Atari Boy 11]

Well, I collected it today (thanks Nat, I owe you beers) and I managed to drive it ten miles home okay (on trade plates). Bearing in mind it has not been driven since 2006 it goes quite well.

I needs a clutch, rad and pads etc but I am very happy.

The beam is not seized and the OE bag is still over the dizzy.

It has all the MOT's and hustory from 1991 onwards.

Happy chap!

Nice one, nice little interesting car there pal, saw it myself albeit Ive just got another 2 weeks ago .

 

Ps ive 2 sunroof deflectors so Iam the king of deflector world.....

[All Praise The GTI 3]

[Baz 421]

well i think it was a bargain!

[MrG 3]

Nice one Jonny, is that a massive alarm under the bonnet?

[Atari Boy 11]

Yes Andrew, it's a large inactive after market alarm.

[DaveW 6]

Ah good stuff to hear its turned out well

[MrG 3]

well done Jonny, good to see it being saved, it looks damned straight, may have to pop over for a looksie when I'm home maybe next weekend!
