Right from the outset we'd agreed on an 80s theme thinking we'd have plenty of options. After spending hours on ebay, autotrader and pistonheads, we'd agreed that the car had to meet the following criteria: - Convertible
- White (preferably)
- (Reasonably) reliable
- Simple mechanics (no turbos)
- Minimal modifications
- £250 max (Sucata Rules)
After much deliberation we all agreed that a Peugeot 205 CJ would fit the bill perfectly and finally sourced an example out in Berkshire. Listed at £300, it had 10 months MOT and the chap selling it was a car enthusiast. We took it for a spin, kicked a few tyres and settled on £250. May we present to you F433 JMB.
