Thank you:-) Did you notice it was Julie Walters who was staring in the 205 ad?

@Channel205UK No, I had completely missed that! I was enjoying the tune, though, and the fact that new cars seemed so cheap way back when!

"Just saw that the Hoggar has a 406 doorhandle as handle for the tailgate XD" - that's an interesting spot, I hadn't even noticed! thanks.

Pois é! Se está funcionando pra que trocar?

Ja existe

They look the same however the rear of the lamp units including the body mounting points are different. If it was that easy to swap them out to UK 207 versions I would. I might yet buy some UK 207 ones and see if I can take them apart for conversion parts.

@@Channel205UK They are the same used in the facelift 206+ in Europe (sold in Latin America as 207), but I think they were all left hand drive (not sold in the UK).

@@fulano1969 Indeed the 206+ was built for Europe in Sochaux, France but was never offered as a Right Hand Drive version.

Thanks. I have a lot of footage I have a bit of a backlog with the bits and pieces I have done. I think that will now come later as a channel Xtra.

thanks for the lovely comment 🙂

:-)))))

My family exclusively uses ethanol for years and I didn’t saw corrosion because of it, usually I saw those kind of corrosion on cars that are parked outside on the grass, mine is parked over a cement floor and didn’t corroded. Only the regular surface rust spots on a few parts.

That's interesting to know thank you. The exhaust gas does have a smell to it which I assume comes from it still running ethanol remaining in the tank as I have not yet put any UK fuel in to it.

Is E85 available there? It would run very well on it

That rear muffler was marked as Faurecia, there's a big chance it was the original.

thank you for the information:-)

Indeed. I am well stocked up on anti corrosion wax for winter!

This Hoggar is equipped with the "cold start" fuel tank, it is a tank with a red lid. This system was replaced by the Flex Start system, which uses heating in the injection nozzles themselves and/or also heating candles in the injection nozzle flute.

Right now its 9°C but it's encouraging that my Hoggar starts instantly in these temperatures. The sensors must all be in good order.

you probably got some gasoline in that small tank because the injection is automatic.

@@Channel205UK on the 2 weeks of cold we have in Rio de Janeiro (between 9~14°C on my area) my UP never had problems to start on ethanol. Starting on cold was a known problem on old cars from the 70s and 80s, on the mid 90s I believe it was a thing from the past.

Yes, things like lights as we drive 'on the wrong side'

They command a high price in the UK as they are so few left. They rusted very badly.

PS I had a 504 GLD saloon for many years as a daily classic car to drive, solid and reliable. I love the Indenor Diesel engine.

Thank you, I have spent today swapping the rear light to 1007 UK spec units and giving it an engine service.

My other cars are a 1993 Peugeot 205 XL 1.6i Automatic and a 2021 Citroën C1 Airscape which I bought new so one of the last built by Toyota post the PSA withdraw.

Interesting you mention the Peugeot Museum. There is a photo online showing a black Hoggar in their stores, when I asked them about it they said it no longer exists. They told me it was donated by Peugeot to the museum for spare parts only and it seems now dismantled. I have never seen any evidence of another Hogger in the museum, if you have any more information on this I would love to know.

@@Channel205UK Sorry my friend for the late response, I was traveling and just saw your comment today. Indeed there’s a video of a portuguese journalist visiting the Reserve in the Archives near Souchaux, in Herimouncourt. Check the link below in the minute 6:35 of the video and you will see the Hoggar in the collection. While the curator speaks in French, the journalist speaks in Portuguese and English lol, you can try to activate the automatic captions of KZfaq to try to understand a little. What I got is that this Hoggar was the one that went to Europe for tests before the launching in Brazil. And after that Peugeot donated to the Museum.

@@alexandersugai7976 Argh the link doesn't work :-(

There will be more content soon🙂

Thank you, we'll have to wait for the DVLA to do their stuff and go from there.

thanks🙂

Well, it will have a 11 plate which for a 206 will be unique anyway, but I get your drift 🙂

Thank you.

Indeed. Peugeot built the 206 PLUS hatchback in Sochaux which the Hoggar is based on, however they snubbed the Brazilian development of the pickup truck for Europe's markets.

@@Channel205UK Just as a curiosity, in Brazil, the 206+ was called 207, as the European 207 was never built here. For economic reasons, to launch the European 207 here would require big investments in the plant and it would be expensive compared to other car manufacturers compact cars, so Peugeot made the facelift in the 206 and launched as 207. That’s why maybe you will see some Brazilian people commenting that the Hoggar is the “207” pickup.

@@Channel205UK Another interesting fun fact. As the Hoggar uses the taillights of the 1007, and the 1007 was the last Peugeot designed by Pininfarina, we could say that the Hoggar is a 3% Pininfarina designed car 😂😂😂

Thank you

Sure!

More content will come 🙂

It was a superb few days not a dull moment!

@@Channel205UK - love to go to a 205 meet/jumble sale here in south wales area 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🤘

@@Gofast1234 The Peugeot Sport Club UK (PSCUK) will have their annual big gathering at Prescott Hill Climb near Cheltenham later in the year so keep an eye on their website, many many 205s in attendance.

@@Channel205UK - yea i go there ,, Buts its only 1 a year lol

I'm not sure what was going on aircraft wise as Concorde had done a flyby.

@@Channel205UK Makes perfect sense - we often had that over for the Navy Day at Portland.

Sadly it was destroyed in 2020 by the local council.
