Love the Dimma one bar the Morettes and the wing mirrors, oh and the green side repeaters, they're horrid! Not too keen on the seats either though I'd have to say, as they're a different green to the exterior. Overall though it's a cool car, you can't go wrong with wide arches and mega dished split rims!

Yours has a good WIP from the previous owner. The only thing to watch will be the head gasket especially as he didn't skim the head. But as it hasn't gone again then it should be fine.  |
Yeah, it should be ok but might be something i'll do in the future because it mis-fires now and then when burying the right foot!
Ruffy - that's what's good about this car, at the moment it's mechanically sound. There is only really cosmetic issues that it has. Which I can deal with for now as it's only really small scratches. I need to figure out how to do stone chip repairs using a machine polisher and use the same technique to sort a few of these scratches.
The goodwood is coming to pugfest because it's going to be near MINT on the exterior I'm hoping by then... 
Ross all those things were done by the previous owner, the current owner has removed those wing mirrors - not sure about your other 2 issues though! I agree about the interior though - the colour is ever so slightly WRONG but cool all the same hence why it's not been re-done because it wont be a proper dimma interior that way...

She looks like a minter B (for her age). Another sound investment and she has a bit of work for you to do, so that'll keep you busy , the interior looks amazing do you need sunglasses to drive it? I mean window down arm out rayban aviators, throwing out cheesy grins at girls with poodle haircuts, retro is the way to g though been in a few 309's the level of grip is unbelievable.
That dimma looks fantastic almost as it rolled out of the workshop, there can't be many of them left now ! especially in such a clean state!

I should hope so since you own one and the fact that it has a "sex plate" The 205 is usually known to be the prettier car I suppose but i prefer the looks of the 309

Cracking looking car Bri. Still prefer the Goodward though.
That can't be the original battery can it?

Well because I can understand one for speed, one for looks but a second one similar to the first? Don't get me wrong i'm all for the multicar collection but just wondered why, given that all apart from the Goodwood are likely to depreciate.

I doubt it will be the original battery Luke, it'll just have been a peugeot source whenever it was replaced
Well, I don't know about this one depreciating that much considering that there's only about 6 3drs in this colour in the UK...ie rarer and in higher demand than a goodwood because there's not many people that don't like Miami Blue. It's also very close to the spec of a miami 309 gti-16(not available in the UK unless imported) , the only thing difference is the lack of mi16 engine and some suspension components up front i think and perhaps a bit of strengthening.
I was also in the market for another wee 309 project, i spotted a graphite gray one for £400, but it was up in the shetland islands! Who knows how much it would have cost to do it up too. The pennies i spent on this would not equate to what it would cost to do the car up, most of which has already been done. The main concerns with 309's are the underside for rust and the rear axle. Which have all been done along with many other bits and bobs
I also cringe at the thought of putting miles on the goodwood so it seemed a shame to have a car but not use it, but i really like the 309 so this one will get used more often and the goodwood will be declared sorn till the summer where it's the only time i'll use it anyway. The goodwood feels more like an ornament...or will be when i'm finished with it
Above all, i've had a bit of a fetish for 309's for a fair few years now and i'm probably not the only person who owns more than 1 peugeot, and more than one of the same model. There's a guy on PSOOC who has SEVEN 205's!! Then there's carl chambers who takes it to the next level...and the list of other members can go on and on.
It's a hobby and I enjoy tinkering with them and I jumped at the chance of getting a 70% mint miami blue 309 which don't come up for sale very often at all.
Hope you understand the method in my madness now
