For Sale is my wife's Onyx Black Rallye CAR NOW SOLDThis is my 3rd Rallye and can confirm what all other owners know, they are the nuts!! Perhaps one of the last great 'Hot Hatches' made before all the modern technology came in and took away a lot of the fun out of driving.
I am considering purchasing a Mitsubishi Evo and unfortunately cannot justify keeping this as well. If the car does not reach what I consider a reasonable price then we will keep it and put the Evo on hold. (and yes I know I should probably do that anyway!).
The car has very low mileage for it's age and there are not many around with similar or less.
The engine still pulls like a train in every gear and is a pleasure to drive this underrated naturally aspirated engine.
The airbag light has just recently come on and is a common fault with 306's. Unfortunately, I am tall and my wife is not so changing the seating position seems to have caused this fault.
The exterior condition is that of a 14year old car. There are dings, dents, scuffs and scratches but nothings that really stands out like a sore thumb. The bonnet has chips from previous motorway use as does the front bumper. The most notable marks are a scratch on the drivers side and also a crease in the drivers door. I have been quoted £380 (+VAT) to re-spray the drivers side, front bumper and to 'mop' the bonnet. If we keep the vehicle I shall probably have this done in an attempt to restore her to near showroom condition.
The interior is in good shape although there is some wear to the drivers seat bolster, this again is a common fault with these models.
Car was previously owned by member M. Harries.
Car is one of last registered and sits on a V plate.
Mileage currently 79,012 although this will increase a small amount.
Car includes;
Full Scorpion exhaust fitted which produces a lovely sound!!
Pipercross kit.
Toyo Proxes T1 all around and still with plenty of grip.
Privacy glass fitted (original rear windows will come with the car).
Rear spoiler has been replaced with a 'carbon look' one. This was included when we purchased it and looks better than it's well worn predessesor!
Later generation headlights.
The car is fitted with Peugeot Motorsport gear linkages which I was told by prevous owner can cause a 'sticky' 2nd gear when cold. Having owned the car for nearly 12 months I can honestly say I have not had any problems with this at all and it is used regularly by my wife.
I have a large amount of old MOT's and invoices from previous owners as well as the original handbooks.
I have been honest with the description and truly believe this to be a cracking little car. With a small amount of TLC it could be one of the best examples around and i am letting her go with a heavy heart.
Please feel free to contact me for more photos or any more information.
Cheers
Charles
