A 205 GTI for £4,000 sounds like a guaranteed profit for Drew and Paul but there is a catch. In 2003 this car had an insurance write off and unless they can get it removed from the record it will seriously affect how much they can sell the car for.

I was just wondering if the original owner said he fixed it and it was back on the road within weeks, then why all these years later was the door damage still there!

@Speedscholars Год назад

Done again???

@openhighwayproductions Год назад

Exactly, the damage so just minimal and chose to drive it as is...

Every 205 Gti needs to be saved ! God I had the best times on the road in my rocket tin can.

I was hoping they would drive it up to Bath to show the original owner their resto work and get his reaction

WOW! What a gorgeous color.....absolutely perfect on this magnificent car.

Car looks great… but Sorrento wasn’t an option in ‘93. Also those late 1.9s were really choked by the Cat. I should know as I owned L952PWK:). I’m back to an F reg now and they really feel much more raw and lively.

@seanhazlewood634 Год назад

Thanks for sharing this I have had 4 205s they are the best hatch love them to bits

@barrywhittaker7043 Год назад

You should never ever change the car’s original colour

What a cool car. I remember driving one here in the States, but I couldn’t afford to buy it at the time. But what a fun car to drive 👍

Always thought Drew was a knob now he confirmed it, a 205 over a Golf , stick to antiques 😂😂😂😂

@neilmustow368 Год назад

Great restoration of this GTi 205 👍👍👍👍👍👍

@mikeormond7883 Год назад

Should’ve kept it white I reckon 😮

@davewheeler7679 Год назад

It was a nice job when it was finished. Great cars in their day.

@cannonEDHA Год назад

Paul and his team really are good at restoration no doubt about it the car looks great

@philtowle4683 Год назад

I struggled selling an 85 1.6 years ago for £300.

@ESMIX65 Год назад

WOW!!! what a splendid job !!! Where can i found the same color carpet?

@leebod7558 Месяц назад

Shame they didn’t show the restoration in this video

@mansfield1971 Год назад

You'll recognize the 205 owner if you've done nurburgring trackdays with DN Events or circuit days.

@stevenlawrence278 Год назад

Watched this one yesterday!

@7532eddie Год назад

I'd rather the Cat C over the sunroof.

@helipeek2736 Год назад

But, “Condition Inspected” isn’t a truly clean record. So, no it’s not worth it.

@mikewilliams4499 Год назад

In france, every 25+ young businessman had a GTI. They were fun but after long journeys they needed to go back to the garage to get the engine tinkered with🤦🏻‍♂️

@johngreenwood1972 Год назад

I had one for four years of fantastic driving (and I mean wringing it’s neck) with no mechanical problems.

@mikewilliams4499 Год назад

@@johngreenwood1972 lucky you John.

@antj29 Год назад

L reg,,,,,,So a 1.9 with the performance of a 1.6 thanks to cat and power steering

@johnburling353 Год назад

Is that the original colour if not then it goes against the little blokes principals of original original original.

@beijingbond Год назад

This video showed a white car turning into a Sorento Green in the very next shot. Clearly it wasn't restored to original which is a shame.

@AndrewSimmonds696 Год назад

love these cars

@ianpreece2739 Год назад

once on VCAR, always on VCAR, you can restore the car but not its history

@leedstown Год назад

It's priced to reflect v car

@SA-zoom1 Год назад

How did the previous owner manage to send them a letter without an address or a stamp on the envelope 🤣

@gerardomusano6919 Год назад

He made an email 🤣🤣🤣

@neilmckay8649 Год назад

An envelope within an envelope. Possibly the outer envelope was addressed to the TV production company or Drew's 'guessed' business address - whatever Google turned up.
