Nah, its getting close now - just need to tune the engine (mixture and timing) and headlamp adjust and its in for the MOT. Its going on classic insurance with my other car, the two together will be half the insurance on the celica - besides, the parts for jap cars are far toooo expensive. I think your just after the 205

No dd, your correct on one thing, the parts for that one are cheaper! BUT! Ask yourself why my dear man! Because Toyota are more reliable = Celica = less on parts!

Reason the parts are cheap is because there were so many cars produced, the engines (and minor variations) were also used in many other cars.
"5,278,050 Peugeot 205s have been sold, and a large percentage of them are still in circulation as of 2009"

As a very late update to this, the car has stayed virtually smoke free and has been tootling around very nicely. Easy 40+ mpg on long journeys and just under around town. No advisories on MOT  Had more agro with the exhaust flex joint when I put proper spring fitting on but after a day of choice words, a large magnet, tie wraps compressing the springs etc, I got there. Couldn't get classic insurance despite there only remaining 138 licensed and 25 sorn'd of this particular special edition model.

I already had two cars and the Peugeot has proven to be a diamond. I know there are a lot of pluses about many Japanese cars but they just aren't for me - too complicated and parts too expensive. Even BMW's cost a lot in blood and toil if nothing else
