...and if concours stuff is more your bag, check this out. You see the Miami Blue shell up on the lift?  DSC_8854 by dbizzle_, on Flickr That's being built for a customer who requested something as close to a brand new GTI as possible. Well, better than new, really. Everything on it is being either replaced or refurbished to original specs. Once it's all finished, the owner's intention is to 'just look at it, and polish it occasionally'. That's one expensive ornament.

Oh, and some other cool stuff. This was a bit of a weapon:  DSC_8898 by dbizzle_, on Flickr  DSC_8900 by dbizzle_, on Flickr Look, they've got a 207 Sypder!  DSC_8863 by dbizzle_, on Flickr  DSC_8855 by dbizzle_, on Flickr ...and under the cover is something that the Max Power generation might remember as a cover car - the twin-V6-engined 306.  DSC_8856 by dbizzle_, on Flickr And finally, something perhaps best not dwelled upon.  DSC_8902 by dbizzle_, on Flickr  DSC_8905 by dbizzle_, on Flickr |

Ugh. Fair play to the guy spending thousands having a GTI rebuilt to original, but I hate the thought of it never getting used. Why bother putting all the electrics back in there if it isn't going to be driven? Or even the engine? Just weld up a shell and stick it in your garage...

Damn, that Miami MI16 brings back the memories. I had an MI16 trackday toy just like it....   (I apologise for the exhaust - I was young!.....Sounded awesome though) Thats another one on the "Why the hell did I sell that?" list. |

I had a ride in the twin engined 306 a few years back.
A real flying machine!!!

This reminds me, I must clear my garage out & fill it with a 205 Gti project.
Can work on it with my son (he's not born yet lol)

Lovely stuff. Is it just me who'd actually quite like to dwell upon the one best not dwelled (dwelt?) upon?  It looks relatively restrained for a build of that period... Twin-engined 306 is a bit mind-bending though. Two sets of Peugeot gear linkages... |

1989 Peugeot 205. You know, the one that was parked in a ditch on the campsite at RRG'17... the glass is always full. but the ratio of air to water may vary. |

Bumpers are terribly nineties though, as is that weird tailgate affair where they've replaced the taillights with steel! |

The only thing that lets the blue one down is the rear.
