Okay, so this thread is to try to keep track of what we know about the current whereabouts of the final series of 30 205 GTI ‘Classics’ and shift that discussion from http://www.aussiefrogs.com/forum/peugeot-forum/100196-205-gti-classic-rebuild-repair-2.html to a more logical location. It would also be great if anyone wanted to contribute what they know of the history of any cars as well.
Information updated as at September 2014 is as follows:

| #14 | Previously owned by JR20516V in Brisbane. JR purchased the car from Victoria. He sold it with 56,000km on the clock on 23/12/05 to a buyer on the Gold Coast who would appear to have removed the leather interior and swapped it for a green half leather interior and swapped the correct door cards for green door cards at the same time. The car has also had a fairly basic respray at some point and presumably lost the correct 'Classic' badges at the same time. The car was sold to an owner in Shoalhaven around 2009 who claims to have done only 400km in the 5 years he owned it. In July '14 it was for resold unregistered for $9,500 with 102,000k on clock to 'Rossi' on this forum. |

| #16 | Sydney car. First registered on 27 Feb 95, making it the second last 205 registered in Australia according to VFACTS. First registered to Peugeot Concessionaires then sold through wholesalers until sold to its first private owner in September 95. One owner from 1995 to 2012, when purchased by Richard W for $9,500 with 84,000km on clock. Car was in good condition when purchased by Richard but had been off the road for about 7 years while the owner was in France. It was therefore recommissioned and refreshed by Richard - new suspension bushes, rebuilt rear beam, any damaged or missing badges replaced, upholstery repaired, some panels resprayed etc. Sold to a collector in Mossman, Sydney (owner of the 'Camnet' business) in December 2014 for $14,500 with 89,500k on the clock . |

Offered for sale on this site in July 2013, asking at the time over $10k, and then again a couple of times until purchased by 'Deltone' (Luca) on this site in July 2016 and shipped to Perth. Luca fitted lowered Gaz suspension, but otherwise appears original and in good condition other than paint going off on the roof. |

| #25 | Purchased by Gezza on this forum in Perth in 2013 with 124k on the clock and needing a little love. One owner from 1994 til Gezza bought. Gezza claimed this one was a keeper, but sold it in Feb 2014 (http://www.aussiefrogs.com/forum/cars-sale-wanted/109142-205-gti-classic-low-kms-number-25-30-a.html ). Spotted at a classic cars and coffee in February 2020 - alive and registered but comment made it 'needs some panel work'. |
| #27 | Sold by 'arcadiagp' on eBay in Sydney in Oct 2014 for $3650, Ad showed mileage of 228,829km. The interior looked a little tired with seats gone hard and cracked dash. Photos (albeit low res) otherwise looked presentable. Purchased by RobK in the UK (who also owns a mint UK 1FM Limited Edition 205 GTi) and a partner who have restored the car. Has been displayed at UK car shows. |
| #28 | Sydney car. Claimed to have had one owner from '94 to '95 or '96 and then stayed in the one family until October 2015, by which time it had 132,000k on the clock. Most of that time was owned by a doctor. After he died in 2004, his daughters kept the car but didn't drive much, hence the low k's. In 2015 paint was faded and servicing had been neglected, but it was a very straight original car. Purchased by VC205 on this forum in October 2015. Resprayed in mid 2016 and minor items cleaned up. Now beautiful and living in Randwick, Sydney. |

| #30 | Owned for many years by 'Izequel' in Sydney. Off the road from at least Sept 2012 to 2019 after a light hit to the front after rear-ending a ute. Sold in Feb 2019. |
- One classic sold in Adelaide in June(?) 2012 – very original but needing a bit of love. Believed to have stayed in Adelaide but number unknown
- Richard W believes the ex Labor parliamentarian Laurie Brereton had a Classic in Sydney’s Kensington until at least mid 2000’s – where is it now?
- A certain club sponsor known to have dismantled one with only 78,000k on the clock – number unknown.
- According to VFACTS, there were 3 205's sold in 1995. Richard W's is the second last, being sold on 27 Feb '95. The very last was sold in May '95 - Does anyone know which one that is?
