It's a nope from me. Was never a fan of the looks anyway, but the colour scheme doesn't do anything to enhance it

The GT2 on the otherhand is flippin' lovely.

Think I'm t'other way round. Prefer the 959 in burgundy to the GT2.

Jeezus look at the commission those fookers are taking :shock:

I like the 959, but when I could get a CGT for less money……

☝️Ar.

I love both but the 959 is another level again.

I think if I was going to get a 205 I'd see if I could find one with a solid shell and an Mi16 swap now that nice original ones are getting into serious money.

I'm tempted to find a 205 to put the Activa's engine into, and then put a V6 in the Activa, both very straightforward swaps.

Always fancied a 205, great ride/handling balance, and they look great on those 1.9 GTI wheels.

What's in the Activa, another XU variant?

Yeah XU10J2TE

2.0 8v Turbo, many Activas perished over the years to supply 205s with engine swaps!

Sounds like a plan - although my preference would be xplant into a 309. Always had more of a soft spot for those.

Get one of each, stripped out 205 with the 16v for trackdays and a turbo 309 to tow it :lol:

It needs a little bit of tidying, but I've always fancied a sand rail. Even though I live nowhere near any beaches or dunes.

"all hard work done just needs finishing" / "probably just a fuse"

It's that level.

This is just up the road from me and, despite being a runner that has had a fair bit of work and which just seems to need a tidy up, it seems suspiciously cheap

That's very cheap, and scarily close.

Hmm, where will it fit :lol:
