What would you have. for around £1000

Clean 205 1.9 GTI or a well used 106 GTI (1.6 16V)?

to be honest, I can't see you getting a 'working' 106 gti for £1000.

You may be lucky and get a Saxo VTS for £1000.

In my opinion, both a 106 gti / VTS will need a little bit of money spent to make them really any good on track... For example brake pads - Ferodo DS2500's , maybe upgrade shocks / springs (although you could technically take it standard), maybe breathing mods exhaust / filter.

You could probably find a 205 Gti 1.9 with all the bits on it for £1000 (although it'll probably also be a dog).

Don't be so tight and spend £1500-£2000 Then you'll get something fairly decent and probably already sorted (saves money buying parts for it later).

Gearbox like a chocolate teapot though.

I'd go with the 205, then an Astra GTE, purley bang for buck.
