Hi Dunc,

Itself original, needs a bit of TLC but nothing major, very solid, got it booked to go up on the ramps today for a good look underneath so hope fully all good. The Williams is tucked away at the moment so will have some fun with this for a while.... ;)

I was originally looking for 1.9 but decided to go on condition at this age. Its a real eye catcher!

From the reviews I read when I was looking to get one of these, people preferred the 1.6 anyway :)

White with flashes of black and red great combo imo

Can we have a comparison report (and lots more photos) please? I always thought the 1.6 would be the Valver to the 1.9's Williams, so I'm hoping it's a revvier contrast. And what are the seats like? Surely NOTHING compares a Williams seat??

And the thought of a 205 being a winter banger for a Williams feels very proper.

When I say I'm thinking of buying a pug the wife nods approvingly as she thinks I'm gonna by her a little dog!

My daughter is very particular about cars but wanted the Skoda Yeti when it had a soft toy Yeti strapped into the rear seat in the showroom.

We took the car for a test and it was awful, very uncomfortable (NOTHING has seats like a Williams).

She got the yeti for Christmas.*

Buy her the pug she wants and the Pug you want too daljk, smiles all round surely?

(But please note a pug or a Pug is for life, not just for Christmas.)

Totally different drive's mate...the 1.6 is very revvy and feels very light on corner"s while the Willy feels more solid..... great fun though ;)

Looks really nice Winters.
Funnily enough I bought a 205 GTi 1.6 a short while ago, mine needs a respray as the paint has faded, but its a 3 owner from new car all very original, its even got the original spare tyre under the car.
Its my next project after I have finished the Williams, I must be a real sucker for punishment.......

Hi Phil,

The car also needs a little attention but generally in really good condition. The Williams is SORN at the moment so going to tinker with this one this summer and have a bit of fun in it.

Cheers,
Lee
