I'll be moving to the area in next few months and just wonder if there are any specialists there, who can do repair work, as and when required - any recommendations, please?

Well yes......... but any 205GTI owner will tell you that parts sourcing and specialist knowledge on the foibles of these now-elderly cars is whats needed!
So i'm seeking the guys who 'feel the lurve' for these particular cars - i'm sure they are out there!

So i'm seeking the guys who 'feel the lurve' for these particular cars - i'm sure they are out there! You would think so but I had a gti6 and most parts were interchangeable from other std 306's, gearbox and engingine are the only major differences, but if they fail its cheap enough to sorce a 2nd wanger and any mechanic can fit you that!

always thought only the gti-6 came with 6 spd box and all the other range were only 5 spd !!
just wanted to clarify as not all bits fit across the range as you say !!
have owned a few 205 gti,s myself inc a turbotechnics 1.9 and was a great little rocket and loved the lift off oversterr too hahaha

I dont think you'll have many problems where you go tbh bud thanks to ebay and such!
