Go for it! I was talking to a bloke today in town with a 505 estate. A very cool motor.

Many of them still are - they've lasted much longer than the 604s ever did

Haven't seen a saloon one for a very long time... The GTI ones are way cool! A lovely motorway cruiser... Rather than an Mi16 lump I think I'd be wanting a beefy turbo V6 in there, from a Renault Alpine or something |

They did make a v6 with the renault lump, I'd go for the 3 litre 24v out of a 406 though with AMG wheels .  |

I like it! What worries me is how few you see in France these days, let alone the UK.

Nice cars, remind me of Volvos, which is quite appropriate, the V6 model has a Douvrin V6, same as various Renaults and Volvos, and the Pug 604 (did I get that wrong?  ) so you'd have no bother finding a V6 for one, hell go for the more modern Volvo 960 V6, up to three litres, with 24valves, with fuel injection and more refined tahn you would believe, even for a Volvo! |

The V6 was used in Renault GTA, 25, 30, early Lagune etc,
Peugeot 604, 504 V6 coupe and cabrio, 505 V6, 605,
Citroen XM,
Volvo 260, 760, early 960,
DeLorean,
Alpine A310, A610 etc,
Venturi Atlantique,
Lancia Thema V6 and a few other assorted cars.
It started out as a 2.7 litre oddfire, which has a really sporty exhaust note, kind of uneven idle and was later upgreded to 2.8 litre and evenfire. The 24v ones are rare as hens teeth.
Volvo ones are the best to get, as they have the good injection system on them and are easy to get. There were 760 turbos which would be good.
I agree with the 406 V6 though. Or the Mi16, although the 206 GTi 180 motor would be nice.
keep the standard rims if it is a GTi ( 15" ) but the identical looking ones on STis are 390mm TRX and worth nothing.
GTis had stiffer suspension than standar from new, but they can be lowered a little and stiffened without stuffing them up too much. Don't slam one too much though, you will just wreck the ride and handling.
