"A clever man's GTi"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

A list of parts and faults my 205's had in the last two years (20,000)! and before you ask, I am not a nutter!

2 engines.

3 gear boxes.

3 sets of CV joints.

1 diff.

2 sets of drive shafts.

1 carb.

2 ball joints.

2 brake cylinders.

1 entire ignition system.

General comments?

The coachwork is in really good nick, and the interior looks young.

Gets through tires quick if used properly!

This car is quick, 89 BHP from a 1400 engine makes it one of the highest standard 1400 engines of its day.

Insurance is cheap, and economy better than the 1.6.

Only 1/10 of a second slower 0-60 than the 1.6 GTi.

How can you get thru' 3 sets of CV joints and 2 sets of driveshafts when the CV joints are fixed to the driveshafts and can't be replaced separately?

Nope - CV joints can be replaced without driveshafts on all 205s!
