    Smashed it again Al, absolutely fascinated with this series on the 305 hedge Peugeot. You've performed an automotive miracle with this old beast, gets to ride again. Brings back so many memories of my old 83 diesel with over 250000 miles on the clock👍, same colour, come to think of it, most of them were 🤣🤣🤣🤣. Even the interior trim was the same, such a comfy place to be really.
    Good luck with the exceptional escapade 👍👍

For a 35 year old Peugeot 305sr to be running as well as this is absolutely Incredible Al. Once her Radiator has been either Re-placed or Repaired, she will be a Super Runner on the road. Thank you very much for sharing Al and Mrs D.
