Very nice!
Love a 205 gti had a couple of them over the years both 1.6. One was my first car at 17!
Ran one without coolant for a week and the only casualty was hole in the manifold

Well still running it in after a pre-cautionary engine rebuild (it had been garaged for years) so currently running no boost, should be the right side of 400bhp but not really chasing big bhp figures reliability more important. Clutch has two positions in or out! :laugh: Brakes are uprated ap items and rear visibility is near zero. Definitely harder work than a modern car.

Thanks Martin, gone 50/50 with my best mate on this one definitely helps with the costs! and luckily he has no space to keep it so I get custody! Quite rare in white apparently and with air con aswell.
