Driving home this afternoon I came up behind a very tidy Pug 309 GTI Goodwood
I pulled up alongside at the lights and complimented the car to the driver by saying, "That's a rare beast", who said "I was just about to say the same about yours."

I had to look that one up. Never heard of it.
Wikipedia's Peugeot 309 page (last paragraph) says less than 400 were made, UK only, and slow to sell.
Another well-kept PSA secret.

Like this you mean Paul, spotted on our trip to France! It was obviously someone's pride and joy and had a 205 owners club sticker in the back!! Regards, Matthew T. PS. Roland Garris is apparently another name for the French Open tennis competition and comes from the stadium name in Paris!

Roland Garros was quite a regular Peugeot special edition. 206 had one too.
The 205 Gentry is a good looking thing. a kind of posh GTI.

All Goodwoods were in green, which is a different green to Roland Garros.
