For a winter hack... nah...

For a trackday shed... yeah... but hard to price with the engine work. You can get boggo 1.9's for £1K or less.

Don't like the red chequers though...

When I said winter hack that is kind of what I meant (see posts passim). It looked from teh photos to be well finished inside, and it was the only one I saw last night as I was browsing various places. The 205 GTi forum seems to require me to actually visit their server in person befoire tehy will let mne register and I am buggered if I can find the for sale section...

This one is in Wales but if nothign else it gives me a bench mark for negotiations with my wife :)

Thinking of it. Using the Liz so much at the mo, it feels daft to have the Merc on the fleet and sit there doing nowt...

bit dear, especially for a 1988 car.

My VTS Saxo (99) was just shy of a grand and (if I hadn't stripped it) would be ideal for the commute - comfy, elec windows etc - and no weight in the tail - ideal for winter!
