How about a 205 Gentry? The all leather and wood one based on a 1.9GTi with an autobox?

Jaap, any Alfa with the V6 engine will do me The sound they make is almost, er, well, you know....

I would love a 205 Gentry, a friend of mine had one of those a few years ago.

no not for me. the clue was in the model.. i dislike the 3Dr 205 badly.. has to be a 5Dr 205... for me anyway.. no but...

Thank you for bringing this car to my attention. What a super combination of size and luxury. I fondly remember my ultra-base 205. Even with 4 speeds and a 1.0 litre engine it was thrilling to drive. It was the skinny tyres that helped make it so agile and the suspension was brilliant. It could manage Irish roads and lanes with incredible ease.

Yea, I bought one couple of years ago for dad, it was a D reg 1124cc GL suitcase engine car. and it was IMMACULATE and I mean IMMACULATE! I stuck a clutch in.. not even a gearbox out job, the best clutch job I ever done. Unfortunally we sold it to someone who didn't care. A shame, it was worth keeping for the amazing condition it was in. But it was cream.. However. It was immaculate.

The Gentry's are nice, but 2dr only. Im a 4dr fan.

Never heard of a 205 Gentry. Sounds like a Japanese car name....like the Nissan Cedric!

I'm going to have to google this. Sounds great.
