Description205 GTi race car - could also be used as sprint/hillclimb/trackday car. See specification in the ad, or ring/email for further details.
The spec is as follows:

- lots of spares including a gearbox, the best part of an engine, and many 205 consumables
Lots more stuff I can't remember, a big folder full of receipts for everything totalling £10k+. This car has always passed scrutineering first time, and with me at the wheel (and I'm no Lewis Hamilton) has set the following times:
Brands Hatch Indy: 1:01.652 (67.98mph)
Cadwell Park Full: 1:52.570 (69.493mph)
Anglesey Coastal: 1:28.662 (62.936mph)
Rockingham Int'l: 1:46.515 (64.5mph)
Lydden Hill (12/7/08): 51.649 (67.87mph)
Its also gone round Mallory Park and Croft many a time, but I can't find any times for those. Mechanically the car is fine, though do bear in mind that it is a racing car and not a concours showcar! The only thing I could find wrong with it is that there are two cracks in the windscreen - one is a 'star' chip about 1.5cm across, the other is about 3/4 inches long - however, the car passed scrutineering at Lydden the other week with these! Secondhand replacement windscreens can be found very cheaply either on eBay or on the 205gtidrivers.com forum of which I am a member.
Fairly obviously, the car isn't road-legal therefore a test-drive is not possible. I am happy for viewings any time by prior arrangement - the car is stored indoors at RAF Linton-on-Ouse in North Yorkshire (YO30 2AJ for your satnav).
Contact me for a chat if you are interested in the car.
I'm looking for £2800 ono 'as is', but if you were happy to take the car without the transponder/fire bottle then I could sell for £2600 (could use those bits).
