Advantages: Big, Spacious, Economical, Attractive and Unique

Disadvantages: Not good on icy roads

I bought a 1991 GRD 505 family estate in 1995, it had 86.000 miles on the clock - I exchanged the engine in 2003 when the original engine had clocked 230,000 miles

I've replaced the alternator, boot door lock twice, the fuel tank and drive shaft guide packer

The car has been off the road since 2006 having failed its MOT - some welding is required and a new exhaust, I'll get it back on the road in the next few months - For a big car its very economical and a real work horse for shifting wardobes and the like. The third row of seats at the back would be better with head supports - but let me tell you its given years of fun to my family

It would be great if Peugeot could make it again - this time with three sets of passenger doors - it drives like a sports car - with excellent road handling - not so good on ice - but very good for bursting through snow drifts


In time I might even give a total disassembly and reassembly including a paint job

Summary: A Classic that should be remodelled and reintroduced by Peugeot
