The
two PEUGEOT 505 on this page belong to Nick
and his best friend. Nick owns the 1982 505 GR.
It has the 1971cc XN1 engine (carb'd) and a 5spd manual
gearbox. It was actually built in Australia (Nick says all
505's sold there from 1980-1983 were built in Australia).
The other 505 is a 1st series 1985 GTi Executive. It looks
similar to the turbo model sold in America and Europe (Australians
never got the Turbo or the V6) and has the 2165cc ZDJL
engine.

The GR is sitting on the standard 14" rims and Michelin 185/80
tyres. Nick thinks they look like truck tyres compared
to the GTi's 15". Instead, he'd like to put the Amil alloy
wheels on his 505. He also will be installing the anti-sway
bars off a GTi on the GR to make it roll a bit less when cornering...

The
parents of Nick's 505 GTi-owing friend have this 505 SR Estate.

It
has the same engine as Nick's GR, however this one has
the 3spd ZF autobox. Note gleaming paintwork, bonnet deflector
and additional headlights.
