EQUIPMENT
15-inch Speedline alloy wheels, Electric windows, Clarion cassette radio (with instruction booklet), Digital clock, Front and rear disc brakes, Lockable glove compartment, GTI floor mats, Spare wheel, Jack, Spare key.
EXTERIOR
This stunning, low mileage 1. 9 GTI has always been carefully stored to preserve its amazing condition. The Alpine White paintwork is excellent throughout and virtually unmarked, with no signs of corrosion in any of the common 205 weak spots. The underside is also notably clean (pictures available upon request), a real testament to the car’s pampered life to date. A highly collectable and outstanding example of the fast-appreciating 1. 9 GTI.
INTERIOR
Opening the door you’re greeted by an interior space perfectly in line with the low mileage of 43k. With the exception of a small amount wrinkling to the driver’s bolster, the cabin is impeccably presented throughout. The switchgear still looks fresh, and commonly worn items such as the steering wheel and gear knob show few signs of use. The carpets are also in great shape with none of the usual fading issues. At the rear of the car the seats appear to have seen very little use, and the parcel shelf is free from any aftermarket speakers or unsightly holes. The original Clarion cassette radio is still present and correct.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
The engine bay is very clean with no signs of any damage or poor repair to be found. At 32k miles the engine was stripped and the valve stem oil seals were replaced; a new clutch was also fitted at this time. The car has been regularly maintained since and was most recently serviced in February 2020 at the current mileage of 43k. The result is a 205 that feels just as tight and together as it would have done leaving the factory back in ‘89.
WHEELS, TYRES AND BRAKES
The factory 15-inch Speedlines look great and fill the arches nicely. Each wheel remains in perfect condition with no curb marking to be found, and all four are shod in matching Michelin tyres with ample tread remaining at each corner. The brakes are reassuringly responsive on test and do a good job of stopping the car quickly and in a straight line.
HISTORY FILE
Within the History File you’ll find the original Peugeot document pack complete with the service booklet and all owner’s manuals, including instructions for the Clarion head unit. The paperwork is packed with plenty of old MOT certificates and a raft of maintenance invoices dating right back to 1990.
There are eight stamps in the service book plus a further six services that are documented with invoices; the last service was carried out in February 2020 at the current mileage of 43k. Most recently we have had the car fully inspected and MOT’d for the new keeper’s peace of mind.
