I loved my GTi ... but not for £55k!

One of the best cars I’ve owned was a Peugeot 205 GTi 1.9.

It wasn’t very well made and was a bit flimsy but, wow, was it great fun to drive.

I sold it for about twelve hundred pounds in the late

Nineties and wish I still had it.

Now a British company called Tolman Engineering has announced it is building “Restomod” 205 GTis including a 16-valve cylinder head and MoTeC engine management.

All cars are built using shells back to bare metal and finished with anti-corrosion techniques.

Sounds great until you read prices start at £55k.

I loved mine but not that much.
