i think a fair way of saying it is that the mini feels like a newer version of the 205. i had a normal cooper before the "s" and the cooper felt alot better to drive, it was more alive and felt freer/looser and was alot more fun, yeah ok it was not as fast as the cooper s but speed isnt everything.
all as she is in the video apart from a change of tyres and a service every month to help look after the engine. the mileage is in miles as im in the uk.
mite have to look into a replacment engine soon as she is slowly drinking oil, around half a litre a month.
Beautiful music for a beautiful car! It was so moving!
I've just had to unwrap mine and get her out of the garage...She is one of the 10 rare red 4 speed auto 1.9 gti's with air con. (Don't laugh!)
She may not be quite as quick as a manual...But she is in the same stunning condition as yours and an absolute pleasure to drive! I wouldn't sell her at ANY price!
thanks for your great comment, its been alot of hard work to get her in that condtion. she had a very hard life at one point, i had a roll cage in her, she was fully stripped out including no dash, and used her as a track car, its now time for her to take life slower and just see the open road on the weekends. i had been thinking about putting a mi16 engine in her but i think keeping the old 8v engine is the best way to keep that classic look
The car is credit to you! That is an amazing restoration!
I've been out in mine tonight and everywhere I stopped she seemed to gather a crowd...Keeping the car in mint condition and always spotless really does draw attention.
Look after that little beauty of yours...You hardly see them anymore...I went to the Southend Cruise last Saturday night and only saw one other 205 gti...I was in my other car...but next time I'm taking the Pug...As long as it doesn't rain...haha!! :o)
I saw you...and a silvery blue one that week...I was in my metallic black MK2 Golf GTi.
Even though it wasn't a proper cruise night last night, a load of us went down...I took my Pug...It was still very busy...She got plenty of looks when we parked up. If it's not raining next week I'll probably go again...It's a bit of a mission for us coz it's 160 mile round trip...Look out for a red 205 GTi with diamond cut alloys and a white'n'black 309 that pops and shoots flames out the back...haha!! :o)
finding a good 309 beam is the problem, most people have beaten you to it and the ones that are for sale are over priced. are you a member of the 205 owners forum - 205gtidrivers . com there is loads of helpful people/ information on there
lol trouble is im not mechanically minded whatsoever and i shudder to think wot it wud cost to get that done at a garage, any ideas? ive got a peugeot specialist i go to thats reasonable i guess i figure all the time the car moves its ok ( money is tight ) ive heard its a common problem with 205s. Anyway mine is a 1.6 Gti in laser green H reg.
Gorgeous car, man. They don't make them like this any more sadly...ahhh how I wish I could have one. :)

Hi mate I see you have a mini on your driveway. Do you feel the Pug 205 GTI has better roadholding and handling than the mini? Thanks

still got her, she has just clocked 180k this morning. need to get a new exhaust as its started to blow at the center
thesonofthedevil 2 years ago
wow thats fantastic :)
still all standard i hope?
180k in miles or kilometers?
ollyb360 2 years ago
all as she is in the video apart from a change of tyres and a service every month to help look after the engine. the mileage is in miles as im in the uk.

thesonofthedevil 2 years ago
that makes me smile knowing that people love the 205 as it was out of the factory.
the services must have cost a lot over time.
well i must say 180,000 miles is a lot for an old petrol engine. are you going to try and keep it as standard as you can when you get a new engine?
i'd get myself a GTI but i can't really afford to insure it as i'm only 19. i tried for a 1.6 and nearly £2000 on my mums :(
i'm thinking of buying a good condition standard one and leaving it untill i get tenough money.

180k is nothing, my 306gti6 engine has passed 200k.
if/when the 205 engine gives up im going to be using the 306 gti6 engine.
im going to have to upgrade afew things like the brakes/dampers/slip diff but still keep the bodywork standard
