rare little beasts these, essentially its a 1.6 309 gti. they handle fantastically, they can rot like curse word, the rear beams can wear/seize, engine bay wiring can cause problems. trim can be fragile. bit late now you have bought it  I would gladly have it from you  |

Hi there thanks for the reply can you tell me why they are rare ? I just assumed it was the same as a early gti only without the gti performance or extras .

they are rare because its a 309, its 25 years old, and they didn't sell many!
I've never seen one in the metal myself, though know a guy that raced a phase 2 (90 on shape) with a 1.9 16v engine.
stick some pictures up!

Hi there i,ll try and putsome pictures up when it stops peeing down with the rain .i didn,t really think it would be rare as there a good few 309 gti 2 door cars around .and because it doesn,thave anything fancy on it like p.a.s- electric windows - or other things we sometimes take for granted.
