The 205 GTI continues to be one of the most iconic hot-hatches of all time. These cars bring driving alive in a way few cars before or since have achieved.
With values of these highly sought-after road rockets skyrocketing, here is a chance to get in on the tail-happy action with a three-keeper, fully historied car in very solid and presentable condition.
It was purchased via Car and Classic from its very dedicated, long-term keeper earlier in 2025. Recent work before that sale included welding to sills and under the bonnet and a new boot floor.
No advisories on its last MOT, which expired in October 2025
Various invoices included in history photographs
The car starts and drives but was previously purchased as a project with the most recent owner intending to undertake several restoration works. Bidders should be advised that reasonable work should be undertaken before road use.
This sale is subject to the Car & Classic Terms and Conditions. By bidding and/or making an offer, you also agree to the following:
✓ The seller is registered as a private seller which means consumer rights stemming from EU consumer protection law do not come into effect. However, you are still covered by Car & Classic’s own Terms and Conditions..

✓ We want a smooth transaction just as much as you do and as such we run all UK-registered cars and motorbikes for sale on Car & Classic through an online HPI check to verify that they show no insurance database markers for damage or theft, and have no finance owing, allowing you to bid with confidence.

However, the presence or absence of a label does not guarantee the vehicle’s status and it is always worthwhile carrying out your own full vehicle history check before making an offer on a vehicle.
✓ Buyers are responsible for vehicle collection
