I had one but wasn't for me to be honest. His is a genuine uk car with 76,000 miles if I remember right, indeed they are seriously expensive and parts are few and far between for them.

Decent, original cars of this age are always going to fetch a premium, especially iconic car's like the 205 Gti which are sought by collector's.

Prices are only going to increase, as they get rarer and older.

I knew they were torquey but I didn't know you could pull one of those with one.

Went like stink and the front end grip was insane
