Andrew's Classic 306

I agree with you both, don't really like white cars, but this does look well in it.

I think, and it's testing my memory, but should there be little S16 badges - on the doors near the side repeaters?

When you look at the spare, check the date code on the tyre too - mine is the original from 1999! Holds pressure ok but use of it not recommended!

I don’t think they did have the s16 badges on the doors, unlike some of the GTI-6’s, but I’ll stand to be corrected. The brochure I have doesn’t show them. It did have them on the fuel cap and dummy cap but I took the off as they just looked wrong .

Will check code on tyre !

Oh gosh yes, the cost of a decent 205GTi is somewhere north of eyewatering now... I wish I still had mine. One of only a very, very small number of cars I wish I'd never parted with... The others being an MG Metro Turbo and my very first AX I had back in the early 90s. Happily I managed to get a very similar AX last year. I'd like an AX GT but the cost of those is rather staggering now for a good one...

I have always liked white cars and have had enough of them over the years My Turbo Metro was white and my current Saxo is. As was was my last AX, now owned by Stickyfinger of this parish. I've also had a white Xantia. Another car, like the 306, that looks very good in white.

Maybe I like white cars as my very first, a 1964 Mini, was white with a black roof...

I agree about the 306 in white, but I also have owned two other cars which I thought looked good in white, the Lancia Delta HF Turbo and the Nissan 200 SX:

Some great 80’s and 90’s cars there Jim ..

Try finding a good Metro Turbo now !! They make silly money. One of the best/most fun cars I drove years back was a Rover Metro GTI … that was brilliant.

I do own a white 1960 Mini although up until very recently it sported a cherry red roof, that I’d put on it as I didn’t like a fully white car !! But as you know Old English white is a dirty white unlike the very clean white that Bianca white is.

The more I see , the more I actually like white cars now

A workmate has a lovely white R33 Skyline.

I love the Vauxhall Chevette in white. I chose it because I reckoned it would show the dirt off beautifully!

Well yes, white is perfect for that ..
