Hi,I thought I’d say hello, I’ve just bought my first 306 Gti6, it’s a ‘98. It has fsh but needs some tidying, I’d like to know how many there are in Aus-I’ve only seen 1 205 Gti so I take it these are pretty rare too. So hello from a very rainy Western Aus! |

It’s badged Gti, it is in very good condition for the age but needs tidying, I think lacquer peel is far worse here than rust. I can only find 2 others for sale in Aus at the moment so I presume they’re quite rare here. |

Yes, they are fairly rare in Australia, so look after it - you've got a gem there.  ________________________________________ "Supercharged - 454.1bhp/317.5lb/ft"Peugeot 306 GTi-6 2000 (X), Moonstone  |

G'day, welcome to the site. These were seriously expensive is Oz when new. Lots of import duty made them not far off price of a V8 Commodore, to subsidise home-grown car production. Lacquer peel is easier to sort than the ravages of UK road salt, that's for sure. What are your plans for it? ________________________________________ Cherry Rallye SOLD |

I’ve seen another 306 gti, funnily enough it was exactly the same as mine including the garage sticker where it’d been serviced! I actually “know” the owner as I deal with his company occasionally yet I’d never taken notice of it before. |

What are your plans for it? I just want to get it running properly at the moment, I’ve had the timing belt & water pump done, the offside drop link needs doing so I ordered 2 to do both sides and I’ve ordered some new rear pads and discs. I’ve had a slight problem with the gearbox linkages so I’ve ordered a set off Miles. Other than that, if no other problems arise in the next few months I think I might go for a respray. The interior is ok but the material on the front door cards if lifting, no doubt dodgy glue from the factory  so I think that’ll need some attention at some stage too.In the long run, I’d like to get a few more horses out of it but getting it running properly is the most important thing at the moment. |

I keep forgetting she’s 20 years old to be honest, I think they still look quite fresh and not really dated...except for the interior. The paintwork needs a bit of a touch up on the rear quarters but other than that it’s pretty good, I want to respray the wheels a different colour, I’ve thought about mid grey metallic or white but can’t make my mind up. |
