      I had 4 205 GTIs in my day 1.6 and 1.9 good car. But £65 K is a madness. You can have two VW clubsports for that or an Audi RS4 B7 with wing backs for £20k get the engine rebuilt for another £20K and happy ever after. Or build your own 205 as good ones are still available for £15K and put a MI6 rebuilt engine in or K20. Nobody wants a digital dash in a car that never had one.

    I had a 1988 Graphite Grey 1.9 GTI as a 24 year old back in the mid 90’s and I have to say, it’s one of the best cars I’ve ever owned. It felt so quick back in the day, but seems pedestrian now by today’s standards! A twisty country road was definitely its happy place.
    I have toyed with the idea of revisiting my youth and getting another one, but I’m in my 50’s now and need something slightly less ‘tinny’ and with a few more creature comforts these days!

Fitting the CD multi changer in the boot, I drilled into the fuel tank. My daily 40 mile 'A Road' commute, coupled with a heady mixture of exhaust sound, The Prodigy and fumes hurt my head every day! Had to get rid when my Mrs back then was 8 months pregnant for safety reasons :)

      Here is a bit of information bellow
      But there in lies the appeal of the 1.4-litre AX GTI. Sneer at its 100hp and 89lb ft at your peril, because even though it's nearer to 800kg, what's that really? This is still a quick little car. That single-cam two-valve 1.4 TU was as sweet as candy, and strong to boot. Max power came at a zingy 6,800rpm. As the 'I' in the name suggests, it's fuel injected and not dual-choke carb'd like the earlier (and lighter still) 86hp GT, but throttle response will seem lightning fast, undimmed by the tragically endulling effects of emissions legislation over the last twenty years

    I had a 1.9 back in the 80s, it was great fun but it flexed like mad when cornering hard - in one case the passenger window fell inside the door whilst I was going around a large roundabout, and the boot would often fly open when really hammering along a bumpy road. It's scary to think these things might still be on the road 40+ years later with all that metal fatigue!

    Had a 1.9 in ‘95 when I was 18, so bought another a couple of years ago. It lives beside my 996 GT3 and I find I grab the keys to the 205 first. It’s great fun on my local Northumberland B roads.
    The dream would be to send it to Tolman but I’m a man of modest means and not sure I could stomach the bill. A good engine and suspension setup plus some choice mods mean a standard one still isn’t really lacking.
    A brand new one would be nice though. 😉

    I had the 1.6. TBH it was a bit knackered. I traded it for a brand new 106 Rallye 1.6 which was basically the same car but without the odd quirks.

    For 65k you can get a beautiful classic that was built as performance/luxury car from it's inception. This may be a classic to some but its still just an economy hatchback with a bit of pep under the bonnet. Just my opinion.

    You’ve got to really love them to spend that much on one today.
    I had a silver 86 1.6GTI in 1990, was great at the time but no way could I justify paying that much to have one now. You could buy a 911 991.1 GTS for that money!

    A _key_ Vicky? Good Lord, whatever next?!😁 Always thought these sat so right. Fantastic packaging too. Though I seem to recall the slack gear change. And twitchiness at the limit. To be fair I run outa skill in a pedal car so... I had an R5 Turbo for a while. That could be "interesting". If I was looking at one of these I'd add an LSD. Imho it makes a _massive_ difference to a FWD car.
