Yellow Rallye

[wilyoldave 0]

Wrong.

 

It's a lower spec GTi6 which took Peugeot an age to sell even at a lower price

 

Weight saving is due to poverty spec swaps. At least with things like the 172 cup over the 172 they lost the ABS, reduced sound deadening, slightly wider track due to offset etc to offset the weight and imprive the feel slightly while retaining electrics.

 

I'd bloody love a 306 rallye though

 

Guess what I bought at the weekend.........

By far the most under-rated 205's are the GT and the Roland garros!

 

everybody loves the XS, for its nippy-ness, and the excitement over the rallye seems to be the rarity.

 

Nobody seems to pay much attention to the roland garros which is basically a special edition XS with awesome paintwork, white leather interior, very nippy and looks great, and has the rarity of about 350 hardtops and 150 soft (i think)

 

As for the GT, basically a 5door xs, its the only sporty 5door model IMO and I tend to get the feeling that it weighs less than the 3door versions (not sure if thats true but it certainly feels lighter for some reason)

That'l be the eBay one then. The description could have been more in depth! Was on Pistonheads for sale for an age a while back. Something just didn't add up with it to me.

 

No not now I've bought another car now and have to leave one at work so I can't have any more

Yeah wasnt the best advert - but seems a genuine car, must have missed it on pistonheads - lad has owned it for 6 years and it drove ok - not mint but I will have to do something about that!

 

So go on then what you bought now? not another 6 to rape!

I like UK Rallyes, I prefer the white ones as the paint fades less and I prefer them standard (theres one knocking about with lexus lights, a few with gti trim, etc).

 

I owned a GT and it was a brilliant car, I'd love to own another.

Maybe I'm just sexist but the woman driving it and wearing glitter put me off...but then I'm the kinda guy who cant watch a film with a female lead because I know I wont care if she lives or dies!

[christopher 5 1 Cars]

But it is yellow!! You cant help liking it.

 

Yellow cars are just so retro and cool. I bet you get lots of looks driving a yellow rallye.

 

But i guess i am biased. My first car was a signal yellow mk1 Ford Fiesta with a black stripe down the side and a black vinyl roof. RS2000 style.

Agreed on this point, my first 205 was the 88 XS which got me into them in the first place and currently own an 86 GT, the XY8 engined model. The XS was nippier in acceleration and faster than my GT but the GT feels more attached to the road round corners etc, much prefer the handling of the GT compared to the XS IMO.

 

I just wish it wasn't so rusty

Getting very OT now, but my first 205 (back in the early 90s) was an '86 XS (XY8 with the twin carbs - Solex IIRC). Was a great little car, took all the abuse and came back for more - gave a few GTis a run for their money too

 

Back on topic, I do have a soft spot for the Rallye (never owned one though) but 10k is very very silly.... I'd expect showroom miles opnly for that sort of price at least!

[matt.f 16]

Got to like it because it's a stunner,not worth £10k though!

Be awesome if it was a S1 106

[Andy_C 50]

We've just insured that dealer. They've had a lot of 205's and sold them at good prices. Bloody nice blokes too.

Or a euro 205 rallye

[205Rallee 59]

I have an alpine beige (halfway between yellow and white) euro rallye with 215....thousand Km's, wouldn't sell it for £10K though

Damnit Peugeot were so cool. What went wrong?!

[The Konj 0]

safety regulations + refinement bandwagon = boring heavy euroboxes!

 

The 306 was the last good one,but even that was beginning to get a bit heavier and more refined!

 

Back to topic, the 106 esp S1 shows the way Rallyes should be - heavily stripped out.

The 306 Rallye is a great car but only about 20kg lighter than the gti-6

The 205 Rallye isn't quite there as a driver's car, especially when the gti is so fast and light anyway.

 

So not worth 10 grand. Now if there was a 1.9 gti with 9000 miles that would be tempting!
