Greg Park Posted December 12, 2003 Author Share Posted December 12, 2003 Thanks Simon but it must be post-1990 as I want to get the newer spec, dash, lights, seats etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxseven Posted December 12, 2003 Share Posted December 12, 2003 That's Ok Greg. I think mine is the same, as its has the round heating/fan etc switches as opposed to the slide ones. When you do fine one do check out the rear beam. Mine cost loads to do. Simon Emmens Caterham and Pussy Photos here 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greg Park Posted January 6, 2004 Author Share Posted January 6, 2004 Still looking for one of these as well Parky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_the_Sparky Posted January 6, 2004 Share Posted January 6, 2004 When it comes back up try: http://www.205gtidrivers.com/forum/ (we are having some database problems ATM but generally recognised as one of the best techniocal forums for the 205) Also the PSOOC: http://www.peugeotsportclub.com/index/main.html a good site/club and the PGAC http://www.peugeot-gti.net/ A bit of a muppet (Max Power) site but may find some 205s on there. Rob (205 owner and wanabe Caterham owner!) P.S. Manx - I guess it is a silly question to ask where you are located! The above sites are also good for selling and if anyone knows what they are about will take that car off you hands very quick for that money if bodywork is good (I recently paid £200 for a recently restored rear beam so £400 for the car is very cheap). P.P.S. Cracking manifold is a normal problem, they changed the design later to minimise the problem. Got a spare uncracked one in my garage (as well as a cracked one).

Manxseven Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Tks Rob, I'm actually located in South Wiltshire! Do you want to buy it?? Simon Emmens Caterham and Pussy Photos here 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_the_Sparky Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Not sure I have the space but at that price. I'll probably get in trouble with my wife for even thinking it (I have more cars than drive space already!) I will ask around on the 205GTiDrivers forum though when it comes back up. I suspect there will be someone interested. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxseven Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Go on Rob you know it makes sense Ditch something else 😳 Drive away for £375 I'm going up to Caterham on Sat morning, so I could pick you up on way back and you could drive it home Simon Emmens Caterham and Pussy Photos here 😬 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_the_Sparky Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 What is the paint work/bodywork like? 178k - I'd expect the engine to be worn, has it had any work done to it? Any photos? Rob (I feel I may get in trouble though!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manxseven Posted January 7, 2004 Share Posted January 7, 2004 Colour is Black It is very good straight nick. Engine is fine, well it doesn't use any oil and still goes like stink.

greg Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Rich, Why? Sounds like you like it! Can't because it is expensive to run! Sig: If it is such a big issue why are the WSCC, Piston Heads, SELOC, BBC, Channel 4 ... not members only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_the_Sparky Posted January 8, 2004 Share Posted January 8, 2004 Manx - I think it would be rude not to at least come and have a look! Do you have a day-time e-mail address to organise details? Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
