not neccesarily...the 1,9 gearbox's arent as strong as the 1.6's its why alot of the rally boys swap them over, also there closer ratio

get one yeah...there good cars, notice the one on ebay has sunroof..some people dont alwasy want them...if you plan on caging it like the orange one get a Safety devices cage rather then the more redily available OMP ones....they mount in much better places
the only people who deal in the safety devices rollcage for a 205 is ABmotorsport.co.uk

Confused is *rubbish* to be honest.. You need to ring a specialist company.

I'd get it!

I couldnt believe it when my son went from a mini 998 value £500 to the 1.6gti value £2500 for only another £50 !

They said it was still classed as a classic car & him being a member of british mini club still got his discount !
