Hi all. For the last year or so I have been searching daily for my ideal car. I narrowly missed out on one last year and haven't seen another since.

What I am looking for is a near immaculate Miami Blue, Sorrento Green or black 205, With a standard interior (so not stripped in any way) That has been proffesionally fitted with a GTi-6 engine. Also needs to have an LSD.

I had toyed with the idea of just starting work on my 205, but with the race car in the garage and the carport taken up by the Jag I don't have the space to start pulling it apart, nor the time (or so I thought) to do it all bit by bit. I have a bit of paintwork needing done on mine too so the thought process then became, search for a new one and sell mine once I had found the car I wanted it to be.

But alas, my search has been largely fruitless and missed opportunities.

So can anyone help? do you know of such a car for sale? or possibly know of someone who has one and considering selling, or who doesn't use it much and may sell if offered?

Thanks all.

Exactly...... though this is why I have been looking for so long and missed out on the ones I wanted as they were snapped up pretty quickly.

Wait for the time to work on your own one. I think it would be difficult to find what you are looking for without paying silly money these days, and you know what you have got with your own one. LSD is an easy thing to fit if you find one without (afternoons work).
