It’s not only the esteemed Jay Ramey who posts photos of Peugeot 505:s and other quality French cars – this one was spotted on the Amsterdam street during our Dutch weekend. The minute I saw it, I wanted to pounce closer and grab a few quick shots of it for Hooniversal use. It even has my favourite 505 wheels on it.
I do admit, the headlight treatment on this particular one certainly looks weird. I think those are regular, round Hella headlights embedded in a plastic casing, but they could also be Morette. Anyhow, I’m adamant we have more knowledgeable Peugeot people here to offer advice.
The jury’s still out on whether those look good. Anyway, no regular Euro headlights for you! At least the bumpers are slim.
The engine in this GTI is the ordinary 2.2-litre, 89kw/120hp four. It’s not the turbo version, which is a shame.
I did neglect to shoot that 205 parked ahead of the 505. Well, maybe next time.
