You have no idea how tempted I am.

Good god.

I can't believe how much the sh*ttest cars from my childhood go for these days.

Does the spare wheel seriously go in the engine bay??

 

[Daz.]

DO IT!

My uncle had one when I was younger - My god I loved being driven around in that. He starved it of oil and seized the engine, I remember my dad pulling it around the roads where I live in our Talbot Horizon trying to get it running again.

No. Just no.

 

[GiT]

If I had a garage or even Some drive space left - I would seriously be on this for a full strip and rebuild.

For what money? It's reserve not met.

My mate at work has a Samba rally car (stripped caged rally car not Rallye) in his dads barn. Used to compete in it when he was younger.

My first car was a Peugeot 205 with the same engine, also had the same 3rd gear syncro issue

This is one of the seeds that grew the 205 GTI.

The earlier Rallye was a tad smaller engine wise. It's PSA's first real 80s attempt at a luke warm hatch.

As I don't have a garage - I am gutted I cannot go for it.
