1988 Peugeot 505 GR review from Australia and New Zealand
"An underestimated gem"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Internally adjustable door mirrors becoming difficult to adjust.
I believe in preventative maintenance and as such I have had no other problems, even if I have spent a lot on running it comparative to the cars value.
General comments?
This is a surprisingly good car to drive and handles very well especially in the dry, and is comfortable with it.
