wasn't actively looking to buy a '6, but this popped up on Facebook one night, not even for sale, just a guy wanting to know what it was worth or if anyone was interested in swapping for something different..
Anyway it caught my interest as it would have been rude not to arrange a viewing on a tidy looking gti6 only a couple of miles away from my house.
Viewed it a few times over a week then made him a cash offer of £650 which he accepted, so here it is. My bargain of the year :-)
1999 Peugeot 306 gti6 (registered in Coventry at Peugeot)
Nile blue, 130k, almost full Peugeot history, then maintained by the same garage here in Hereford for the last 5 years
Quite an interesting car, registered between September 1999 and March 2000 so an early phase 3, BUT with a seemingly random selection of ph2 leftovers from the end of production
Ph3 shell, so bootlid, bumpers, skirts, dashboard top airbag, ph3 engine, crystal headlights, spoiler, ph3 gti6 boot badge
And random ph2 bits: side strips, seats, infrared remote central locking, dash clocks, orange side repeaters, gti6 door badges, frosted lens fogs.

Anyway, what's going on with it now that I've bought it.
The rear beam Needs changing as the bearings are shot. Not a problem, I have a low mileage gti6 beam already
It needs a decent service, oil and filters, spark plugs, coolant flush, new brake pads and rear discs, wishbone on passenger side just for my own peace of mind, new balljoints and tre.
Just working through I all at the moment getting ready to insure and tax it in readiness for summer
What I've been upto over the last week

Still to do, swap the beam, service stuff, tax then enjoy :-)
Aiming for a immaculate Oem+ gti6, nothing too crazy (yet)
