Hello, I bought one of these about a month ago too as can be seen here: retrorides.proboards.com/thread/184307/peugeot-205-1-8-1995I am going for 15" Steel Wheels (Citroen Berlingo) which I got new and here they are being painted in the same colour as the car These don't rub on the wheel arches and are ET18 offset which is a nice bonus. Wheels will be on tomorrow, the 'INCA' decals have now been removed and the valances are being painted as we speak. I know exactly what you mean, I haven't driven the E28 at all since buying the Pug Lol. Well done, and I hope it continues to give you joy as mine is doing I can get used to 65 MPG as mine is largely a motorway car.

Hello all, apologies for the delayed response Thank you to all who have commented. I am running out of space so have decided to sell the Escort. I will update this over the weekend (probably Sunday) with a detailed list of what is missing etc. and then maybe stick it on Ebay depending on interest.

I thought I'd share my new addition to the stable. I don't really know why I bought this but I knew at some stage I wanted to get my mits on an old skool Pug diesel before they all disappear. This came up and fitted the bill nicely. My first ever Diesel car in 22 years of driving and first car that does over 30 MPG. It is in really lovely condition in and out and comes with all of the service history and every MOT from new. It's obvious it's had lots of money spent on it as it feels really tight and nimble to drive round town, and also straight and stable on the motorway at 70+ mph. It reminds me of the 205s I had around 16 years ago and I also learnt to drive in these (and 309 diesels) in the early '90s. It puts a massive smile on my face just to sit in it and feels very roomy for such a small car. I'd forgotten how fun it is to drive around in a tiny, lightweight car which feels like a go-kart. It's not as slow as I thought it would be and is actually fun to drive. Strangely, even though it's had a lot of money spent on it, the timing belt was last changed 60k miles ago so I will not be driving it until I have time to change that. Nice to see they are cheap enough and easy to change. While I am there I want to give it a service, change one of the headlights as it looks slightly more misty than the other, and change the steering wheel (which is the only part of the interior that is showing wear). After this is done, it will be lowered, have Rallye arches fitted, 15" steel wheels (in White), and be fitted with GTI Front & Rear valances. After that it should be a nice car to pile the miles on and I can rtire the E28 from daily (20k per annum) use. I've already bought all the parts bar the wheel arches. I'm well chuffed with this simple bomb proof oil burner. Some pics below and what I intend to do to it How it should look once finished but wheels will be bigger.

Maybe it was originally £4500 but is now £3500? Dunno.... EDIT: Just seen what you mean. Possibly an error on the OP's part initially

Hello, I am having a bit of a garage clearout which will make my Escort rebuild a more enjoyable experience. I have a Dashboard for sale for a Mk 3 Escort which was is the original item from my RS1600i. I bought a crack free (at much expense) a few years ago so the original, cracked (but not so bad) unit is up for sale. Link to the auction here www.ebay.co.uk/itm/171833285517?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649I have it the Bay and starting bid is £50. No bids yet and it ends on Sunday so could be a bargain for someone. Also have an original 1600i Exhaust manifold and down pipe and rear silencer on sale. Please see my other items if interested.. Cheers, Tej

No problem mate. These 'modern' classics are still finding their feet I think when it comes to supply/demand so I think the prices are all over the place as a result. Would be good to see some pics of the old benz, don't expect a flood of replies though...

Does it have Leather interior? Do all the electrics work? Some pics may help I've been in to Mercs since my Dad owned W123 models in the '80s. I would say it's worth about 2.5k if it has a MOT and is in the condition you describe, and everything works as it should. This is just my opinion of course so please do not be offended

Not really for sale as such, just wondering what it would be worth as is. Not sure on their current values.
