Still wouldn't mind an Astra
Peugeot 1.9 205 Cheetah
Back in the 80s I had a 1.9 Peugeot 205 GTI with a conversion called the cheetah . Think the garage was down Aldershot ?
Think the mag may have still been called Motor back then and you did a article on the conversion.
Power up from 130 to 150 BHP, even 16 valve golf GTI could not live with it.
Small sticker on the side was the only clue on what it was.
Wonderful car
