1989 Peugeot 205 GR review from Israel
"The most fun you can have on the road with your trousers on"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Head gasket blew at 170,000 Km
new brakes at 150,000 Km
internal fan no longer works just makes noise
weird noise from the back at low speed.
General comments?
This thing goes like lightning
apart from age related and idiot friend driving without water in the radiator it is the best car I ever had. Even after a head on with a bus (o.k only 10K )and looking like a piece of crumpled paper it drives like a dream.
