I really don't think you need a faster car for the road!

Also nicely spanks my mates recently bought EP3 Type R so good enough for me

My God - I passed my test in one of those way back in the late 80's. Fantastic cars. :cool:

That 205 is awesome, I bet it's ridiculous fun

Lovely 205! I still think they look the dogs gonads.

That'll be worth a fortune in a few years won't it?

Agree, they have a great retro look about them.

I doubt it will be worth as much as a standard Gti in years to come.

Probably not, but seeing as ones in this condition are going for stupid money already and this one was reasonable given the spec and work gone into it I'm happy.

It won't lose any money lets put it that way, also got it insured on classic insurance for £165 which was a nice bonus

Nice car GT3, will look out for you.

Must be a hoot to drive.

Looks great. Please don't abuse it with stickers. (ST220)

Stormster · 10 Mar 2013 at 18:35

How come you got rid of the VXR Rybo?

The 205 is bloomin lovely. Awesome looking car and I bet it shifts!

Seems to be a lot of FWD win going on recently.

Janesy B · 10 Mar 2013 at 19:04

Front wheel drive is best wheel drive.

GT3 · 10 Mar 2013 at 19:06

Need a lsd though, power understeers like a pig (ep3).

Aye, I wasn't knocking your choice of vehicle, just saying.

Anything 'classic' will be more valued when they are 'as intended' spec.

Like you say though even skylines, lancia deltas, supras, m3s etc will always have low depreciation despite modifications unless it is in a poor state, which your 205 clearly isn't.

GT3 · 11 Mar 2013 at 00:43

Yep i agree, rather have a nice usable example than a garage queen anyway
