Not sure about sexy......it's a little beaten up when close to it. Has 'Ring armco damage on drivers side on the wing and rear quarter. BUt, yes. The early 1.9 Mi16.......just begs to be thrashed.

Really do need to get that 205 road worthy again - was a great car after we built it
Unfortunately, the parts bin has expanded into the garden. I now have 2 big plastic bike sheds full of parts, and my new Specialized Rockhopper bike, a new passion/hobby or feeble attempt at keeping fit. The beams are in bits now, but in their place is the Mi from that red 205...finally broken and shell flogged on to MiniGibbo on Drivers. HE's now chopped it up, with the boot floor finding it's way back here.
Was a great car though, and forget quickly how much fun it was. Even the bare interior doesn't really bother me, it's more the drive the car offers. Kinda tempted to keep with the 1.9 and go with the solid lifter plan, lairy cams and bodies. There is just something about the 1.9 Mi16 that makes me grin.

Will take you a minute to dig it out. Though looked a nice machine on the track
It's quite a deep garage. I think there is now a GTi6 engine in bits, 1905cc Mi16 lump, 1998cc Mi16 in bits and an EW 206GTi lump in there plus a couple of GTi6 boxes, a couple of beams in bits, several pairs of arms including ZX Volcane, brakes a plenty, couple of later black exterior trims and mint red strips, original and unmolested 205 looms plus the rest. I've amassed quite a collection over the years!
It was a nice machine on track. I'm sure the Evo driver I was chasing in that photo would agree too ;-)
