Bought this girl in December, still waiting for the weather to pick up so I can smarten her up a bit. This is the only picture I have of her and it makes her look neater than she is in real life For now I've pinched some more from this blog written about her a few years back... She's got lots of little dings and scratches and the paintwork on the bonnet has crazed. There's some interesting gaffer tape paintwork fixing on the roof and the interior and trim need attention. I should probably be more concerned that there's some god awful clunking about going on, but I'm not. Not yet anyway. I'll probably ignore until something falls off. She ain't the fastest, but after my old merc she feels positively nippy. Got her on fuelly and she's seems to be doing about 20mpg which I can live with. As a nice surprise my boyfriend popped me some yellow bulbs in her headlights and it looks awesome. Had a lot of retro rides over the years but nothing has caused such as stir as this old Lion.

Oh yes now that is a car. I remember drooling over a metallic green one at the Ulster Motor Show in the mid 80's and thought it was one of the coolest saloons on show. Good to see another 505 on here.

The badge on the boot Is that the only difference? No fancy shared engine with a 205?

My dad had a brown saloon sri (? I think, but may have been a gti) Followed by a red estate.... aged 14ish the saloon was so much cooler with a boot spoiler, bigger alloys and looked so much faster, but the estate I remember as being HUGE!!
Lovely looking car, I will watch with interest!

Great cars. Introduced in 1979 and one of the first jobs I did on one of the first we sold was to take out the engine, gearbox and front suspension. Owned by a bank manager who front ended it a few weeks after buying it. At the time I worked for IDG Ltd in Glasgow. Peugeot distributors for Scotland.

Nothing major really, bit of a tidy up and maintaining her as my daily driver is all. Might be fun to do a few shows with her. I've been taken aback by the amount of love she gets out and about.

Love it - such a rare sight now whereas you still see the odd 205 or 309.
