Hello from a new member looking for a tidy, original 1.9!

Evening! 
Thought I’d do the polite thing and introduce myself. I’m based in the midlands and a lifelong petrolhead, cars & bikes! I bought a mates ‘88 1.9 way back in 1996 when I left college. It had done 95k and I did another 30k trouble free miles in it over the next few years before I sold it to buy an Alfa! I’ve had all sorts of fast and interesting cars since then but nothing’s stayed with me like that great little 1.9! Anyway, I’ve also got a few old bikes one of which I’m about to sell. I’ve decided if I don’t find another 205 GTI 1.9 soon I probably never will, so here I am!

When I had my last one, the internet and fabulous forums like this didn’t exist (old git!) so I’m looking forward to reading, learning & contributing! 

Wish me luck on my search!

 

Cheers. 

PHJ

Same here, I still remember the first corner I turned in a 205 GTI in the nineties and the way the steering weighted up, nothing since has come close.

Welcome to the forum, and good luck with your search. 

 

Have you checked to see if your old one is still alive..?

Cheers all!

Funnily enough, I checked earlier!

Looks like the trail went cold in 2003! 
Oh well, it got thrashed by an owner in the late 90s so that would put me off!

That's a shame, at least with the car you end up with you won't know it's been thrashed ;):ph34r:
