1986 Peugeot 305 1.6 Automatic

The second 305 in the fleet, i did not need this car, but as a big fan of the 305 i couldn't resist it. This is a 1986 with 108,000 miles, it may be more than the S5 but this car has been extremely well looked after, with one owner from new and an extensive service history, the car was also used regularly up to the point when i bought it.
This car was on the Isle of wight, and i went over to buy it, and drove it back home to northern ireland, almost 600 miles without any problems, it returned 34MPG overall on that journey which was better than i expected.
The automatic gearbox (quite rare to find in a 305 today) is very smooth, initially i had planned another XUD conversion for this but having drove the car i think it wouldnt be right to do anything to change its originality, so it will remain an Automatic and Petrol, as it won't be used on a daily basis fuel economy isn't a massive concern.
The bodywork for a 305 is very good, of course its 28 years old so there are bits and pieces of rust but they are generally all small bits of surface rust, the worst bit being the tailgate which leaks a bit. i am now storing it in a well ventilated shed so the rust will not get any worse but the plan is to strip the car back to the metal and give it a full respray to get rid of the rust.
The interior of the car is like new, seats have had covers on them and the upholstery has been very well preserved, the dashboard does have a bit of a region where it is delaminated but it hopefully will be easy enough to fix with the dash out of the car.
Mechanically everything seems fine, it starts up without any problem, revs smoothly and changes gear nicely, although there doesn't seem to be any kick down function, the gears can be locked in a lower setting i am not sure if kick down was simply not offered at the time this car was made, or perhaps it is currently not functioning.
The suspension at the back of the car is quite squeaky which is most likely due to worn bushes, at slow speeds it is very noticeable but once up to speed the noise disappears.
