Prior to Peugeot's acquisition of Chrysler's European car divisions in 1978, the company was best known for bland but competent big saloons. The little Gerrard Welter-penned 205 changed all that, becoming an instant hit and ultimately one of the most successful small European models ever. The halo version was the GTi, the standard by which many compare hot hatches to this day. Its reputation was enhanced by strong motorsport success, particularly the 205 T16, which dominated the World Rally Championship during the mid-1980s. In the UK, the 205 became extremely popular, performance versions like the 205 GTi cementing its status as one of the most iconic hot hatches of its era.
This Junior has been upgraded and professionally modified to be a highly competitive rally car. The impressive specification includes; 1. 9 GTi 8v engine, injectors and engine loom, Piper Hi-lift cams, new fuel pump, twin cooling fans, BE3 gearbox with Quaife LSD, gear selector and rod, Group A Peugeot works front coilovers. Bilstein rear suspension, GTi brakes with Mintex front pads and Brembo rear shoes, GTi subframe, hub shafts and exhaust. Accompanied by a history file containing assorted invoices, MOT history, original owner's manual, Haynes workshop manual, Swansea V5C and current MOT to June 2026.
