Description
So here is Primrose. She's a 205 1. 9 GTi Hillclimb / Sprint / Track day car. She is also Road legal.
She is an amazing car, been from a much older generation of hot hatches it's such a different driving experience to newer cars.
So a bit about her.
Originally she was a silver phase 1 205 GTi. As you can see from the pictures she is now painted yellow. This was done by an owner way back in her life time. The original has been silver is retained under the bonnet and inside.

Bad bits
No suprise here. There is some rust starting to come through in the typical places. But I have been advised by my MOT tester it's nothing structural.
As she is 38 years old and not some garage queen show car this is to be expected.
The paint on the car not exactly show car. If you want that level a repaint would be necessary. But I believe I have factored these issues into the price.
Although the real value in this car is not looking at it. It's in the engine and handling when sat being the wheel. The car is no show queen, and to be honest, it's not the most comfortable on the road, as the interior is sparse being a competition car and the rear seat is not usable due to the cage. However, Primrose is super quick and a great track car.
I've had my fun and competed in a variety of motorsport events in it, The car is still a winner in the right hands but unfortunately, those hands are not mine.
