Does any1 know anythin about the Peugeot 205 "Roland Garros" Edition?
Answers:
I remember them, they were a limited-edition luxury version of the 205, and painted dark green. I couldn't remember much more about them, but I found this site: http://www.205rolandgarros.co.uk/.
Had a shot in one ages ago when I worked in a garage, I personally didn't like it but I dont really like French cars due to the foot pedals being so close together, but it was a very nice car, there's some info on it here.

My pref' from that range would be the t16 turbo,,, peeoooww !!
it came in petrol or diesel with posh paint jazzed up interior radio cassette.there was about 1000 for the uk market 3 and 5 door.if memory serves me right there was a 1.4 petrol and a 1.7 diesal nice car at that period.
the wife has a 1.9 tdi roland garros, its a bloody 205, ok so its got bells and whistles. but its a piece of frog junk.
They were around before H registration and came out every summer time over a number of years to coincide with the French Open. Metallic green paint, alloys, electric windows, cream leather trimmed seats and red seat belts to match the colour of the clay courts. Very nice if you wanted luxury but engine choice was disappointing, 1360cc Bosch fuel injected twin cam gave 80 bhp, fairly nippy, but not in the same league as the 1.6 or 1.9 GTIs which were around at the same time.
nice car at the time but the nicer model was called the Gentry it had the 1900i engine leather trim and all the electrics, dont know if they made a manual transmission version though.
They are quite rare, and are worth a lot of money if in good condition, most people keep them and reluctantly sell them.
fairly rare but to be honest a clean gti is worth more money and much more fun
