I bought one of these brand new in 1999. The beginning of the reg was T560 and it was green. Came with free insurance from the dealer (part of the reason I bought it). Was a brilliant car and this video brought back lots of memories!!
Great to hear, I know the free insurance enticed many into the car of all variants although the VTS didn't get the same treatment which is why I assume there's so many more VTRs around!
That has to be a keeper, I cannot remember the last time I saw a mk1 (my favourite) Saxo vtr/ vts
Currently, I think so! Neither could I, hence jumping at the opportunity!
Nice little car👍🏻
Thank you!
Had a 51 plate VTR in Wicked Red, great wee cars.. unfortunately couldn't keep it long as size 11 feet and those pedals didn't get along😂
It's surprising how close the pedals are in cars like the Saxo and especially the 106! AX is fairly close but I remember the 106 I drove being seemingly closer... as you say the Saxo is great though, so much fun to drive!
@@OGCars yeah I tried a 106 Gti and couldn't get along with the pedal box either.. thankfully I settled on a Clio 172 Cup for my French hot hatch which had normal sized spacing.
@@swordjo We had a ride out in a friend's 182 once and it was fantastic! Great cars those Clios!
Lovely fun little car . Thinking cups might have got a bit bigger in the years since that was made 😂
They must have been because the cup holders are useless 😂
I really want a Peugeot 106 for my first car! I prefer the front end over the Saxo. And a base model. I would much rather have my dream car than something more modern with more bells and whistles. I have always thought they were absolutely stunning, I hear they are a treat to drive
Peugeot 106 is a good car, go for it! Not owned one personally, but always been tempted by one
106 was my first car!
@@JiriMachovec How was it?
@@fcubeboy4959 Generally really good. Considering the fact that I bought if for 200 USD it was amazing. It was the 1.1 44kW engine which was good on petrol and powerful enough for city driving. 3 door version with power windows and a sunroof so it even came with some options. No AC though and of course the rear axle was shot haha. I loved the turquoise blue color the most though. Sadly I crashed it and due to some major rust on the frame rails decided its not worth fixing.

Gorgeous car, gorgeous presenter.
Yep cup holders are absolute pish…. Quick cars though! I adore mine
They are terrible 😂 but oh yes, I’m really happy with it!
I drove one of these a couple of times, a fun car.
Great fun!
Hello Love 90s cars
What do you think to MK3 Vauxhall Cavalier SRi 1995 I had one in black very hard to find
Great cars, but yes difficult to find now!
Great little sporty car. Are the pedals easy to operate, I seem to remember they are quite small and close together which my big feet would have trouble pressing the right one.
They are indeed, I can imagine they would be difficult for some due to their size and how close they sit to one another - very similar to the AX before it
i own a 5 door 1.4 it is quite fun to drive
A great chassis the ol' Saxo! The 1.4 was a great engine too!
Probably a stupid question but is it 1.4 or 1.6? I tink the vtr came in both? The 1.6 been a 8 valve and then the vts was the 1.6 16v, same as the 106 Gti?
It’s a 1.6! VTR came with the 1.6 8v and VTS with the 1.6 16v 🙂
@OGCars thanks very much for reply guys :) lovely car :)
@@tonystapleton1987the 1.4 version was called the furio or peugeot 106 quicksilver
@willhaer2894 thanks man :)
@@willhaer2894 the ph1 1.4 was the west coast, the ph2 1.4 was the furio
Great small reliable cars! Pedal position put me off!
Yep, small and very close together! I had an AX about a year or two ago and very similar to that! 😅
Hi, looks good and well presented, car's not bad either. Many thanks from Nr Chester.
It's missing the rear wiper
We certainly don’t miss it 😂
@@OGCars won't it fail the mot
@@richardcarne753 no, you don’t legally have to have a rear wiper, plenty don’t have them from standard even now - mot doesn’t cover rear wash wipe whatsoever 😁
Gav a lar.
Think gav actually had the VTS.
Gav had the ph1 VTR in the first series (same as our model in this video), the later series had a ph2 VTS
