The Appeal
The Peugeot 205 is, put simply, a legend. In a time when the hot hatch was king, this was one of the truly hard hitters for supremacy - an all-round superb package of performance, aesthetics and dynamics that still garners a hugely passionate fanbase today.
The 1.9-litre engine variant, in particular, is often noted for its torquey character - This specific one has had only two previous registered keepers from new, both of which have been in the same family. They've clearly dedicated to it too - this car has been dry stored throughout its life, and carefully kept with a full dealer service history and recent recommissioning work all in its paperwork file,
It's highly original, too - non-PAS and non-sunroof - which is no doubt going to raise plenty of attention in any dedicated hot hatch enthusiast.
