Haha, just catching up with unread posts on a Sunday morning with a cup of tea and my feet up and spotted this!
I've owned a 1.9 since 2006 and ran it alongside a manual 2003 Avant that I owned 2010-2014. When I read your first post I did think it would be weird if you bought my old one. But I'm glad you didn't, the guy I sold it to only kept it 6 months, and when it reappeared on Autotrader late last year / early this year it looked a right state, including body damage, shame!
Here's my old one with pics of the 205 reflected in the paintwork

Plus most recent pic of the 205 at the MK meet
