From the seller: “I acquired this car as a project around a year ago as I have always fancied a 205 XS. The previous keeper acquired the car as a ‘barn find’, the car had been sat in dry storage locally since approximately 1998 not long after it was last serviced.
The idea was to recommission it and get it back on the road however unfortunately it has taken a back seat to my BMW projects and I have come to the realisation it would be better off going to someone who can give it the time and TLC it deserves, than let it sit there any longer. “
