Description
A very early, rare and sought after Mk1 (the best version in my humble opinion) example of Peugeot’s 306 GTI-6 in absolutely fantastic condition. I am confident you will not find a more sorted and cherished example with such provenance elsewhere. Particularly at this price. These wonderful cars are only going one way in value. An excellent investment opportunity.
Selling with a heavy heart but I need to reduce my collection. Originally purchased (April this year) as an occasional use car to travel between Cambridgeshire and our second home in Dorset (which it has done so on several occasions in recent months, soaking up c. 1500 miles and never missing a beat). But the impending arrival of a dog has compelled me to buy a C5 S6 Audi Avant.
Suffice to say I am not in a desperate rush to sell and will not be taking any offers. It is priced to sell. If you believe you can get a comparable example for less, I wish you the very best of luck.
I am a sincere, genuine and honest car enthusiast that takes great care of my acquisitions. I am not interested in engaging with time wasters, tyre kickers, nitpickers or "know it alls". Sorry. Life is just too short and I haven't the time.
Test drives permitted with proof of insurance. Payment via BACs transfer.
I have hidden nothing and endeavoured to describe it as accurately and as fully as possible but it is approaching 30 years of age and isn't advertised as a concourse, showpiece. Albeit it wouldn't take a huge amount of expense and effort to get it there.
Although, my advice would be to drive it, enjoy it and look after it, as is. It really wants for nothing.
There are a few blemishes and age-related paint imperfections that probably wouldn't warrant highlighting by most sellers but included for accuracy and full disclosure. There are no signs of rot or rust on top or underneath, no evidence of welding and the factory alloy wheels (shod with premium tyres, with plenty of grip) are near mint, all bumpers are devoid of scuffs or marks, the bodywork free of unsightly dents or dings and the interior is the best I have ever seen on this model. It really is immaculate and defies the norm for a French car of this era.
There are no nasty noises, squeaks or rattles and no electronic gremlins. Everything works and I am not aware of any mechanical or electrical faults.
Recently serviced and with an MOT until late April 2026. It comes with a few spares (photographed), two sets of keys (fobs and alarm and immobiliser all working) and original driver documentation, spare wheel and tools.
I will throw in the good quality, fleece lined cover which is a matter of months old and does a fantastic job of keeping her dry, clean and protected.
Prior to my ownership, the car had just three owners. The last of which owned and cherished her for 24 years!
There are a stack of invoices and all the old MOTs. You will note that it has passed 14 consecutive MOTs without a single advisory! Quite remarkable and a testament to the care bestowed upon her.
Description:
Registered 09-01-97 with just 90000 miles from new (equates to an average of 3250 miles per annum over its approaching 28 year lifespan).
Factory sunroof / non-air con version. Which is an absolute bonus.
Diablo Red.
Meticulously looked after by its previous, enthusiast owner. And indeed myself. Being cleaned, waxed and covered after each trip. It hasn't been abused, ragged or subject to any nasty modifications that sadly plague so many examples of this rare classic.
In the past two years and c. 2500 miles, it has benefitted from the following work:
2023 and 2024
• clutch kit
• clutch cable (modified to manual adjustment)
• cambelt kit
• water pump
• aux drive belt
• battery
• gear linkages
• gear bush
• crankshaft sensor
• fuel pump
• brake discs & pads all round
• near side front outer cv joint
• brake compensator
• centre exhaust section
• lambda sensor
• air filter
• oil filter - again changed in late April
2025
• fuel filter
• plugs
• oil - again changed in late April 2025
• antifreeze
• brake fluid
• Wipers
As you will note, the original Clarion head unit stopped working a few years back and has been replaced with a modern unit (Bluetooth, DAB and hands free) that is linked to the factory steering wheel control stalk. It sounds surprisingly good through the powerful, upgraded factory speakers.
