Background
About as synonymous with the 1980s as Boy George and the Rubik's cube, the Peugeot 205 has earned its place in our hearts with its lightweight nimble body and ample power. Now considered one of best hot hatchbacks of the era, the fine styling, great handling and uber-cool appeal secured this car a very comfortable home at the top of most ‘best driver’s car’ lists. Produced between 1983 and 1998 and declared 'Car of the Decade' by CAR magazine in 1990, the styling of the 205 is often thought to be a Pininfarina design; however Gerard Welter, Peugeot's chief designer, claims it was all designed in-house.
The 205 is widely regarded as the model that saved Peugeot, but Dimma took it one step further and created an altogether more muscular version, with broadened arches, beefed up bumpers and a roof spoiler. This desirable Peugeot GTi received its Rally-inspired Dimma conversion by Dimma themselves as confirmed by the plaque mounted in the cabin. This is one of only 252 UK original factory Dimmas produced and believed to be one of the fastest 205 Dimma’s currently available anywhere in the world being equipped with the Peugeot 3 litre, V6, 24 valve motor, restored with full group B rally homage graphics.
In terms of power output, it’s difficult to quantify. The owner believes it’s in the region of 170-200bhp, but without access to a dyno this is difficult to confirm.
History
The current owner purchased the car in December 2020 from the then owner who is currently stuck out in Dubai, and due to Covid restrictions, is unable to return to the UK. While the current owner believes there is significant history with the vehicle, he is unable to physically get the paperwork while the owner remains abroad. This car is therefore being sold without paperwork history which is said to include a receipt for the purchase of a V6 engine with 46k miles on it (fitted in 2020 to an 89,300-mile chassis), and a full service approximately 2 years ago when all the belts were changed.
The car has done less than 1000 miles since then and looking at its MOT history reveals that it has barely done 4,000 miles in the last 16 years. It also has a Nitrous Oxide System which can be seen in the lower part of the console, this has not however, been tested by the current owner.
The car has had a professional respray and looks amazing, any rust having been attended to along the way.
The car comes complete with a roll cage and has been fitted with a battery isolation switch as per rally standard. The car also importantly comes with two original Peugeot keys.
The headlights have been upgraded to xenon, providing far better light for night driving and the brakes have been upgraded to ventilated brakes and (Gaz) suspension fitted all round.
Paperwork
Includes V5 and receipt for recent refurbishment to the genuine Compomotive alloy wheels for £1,050.
The owner has advised that he is happy to pass on any paperwork when the previous owner returns to the UK, but there is no guarantee it will be provided and is therefore not part of the sale.
Interior
The interior appears in good condition and the seats have been replaced with brand new Sparco reclining seats.
Exterior
The strip down and respray has been done to an excellent standard. With the recreated homage stickers styled to look like the famous 1980s T16 Peugeot 205 Group B Rally car, this is one car set to turn heads wherever she goes. Be sure, then, to allow a little extra journey time if you plan to stop along the way - you’re likely to have to factor in sufficient ear-bending time to listen to the comments of a passing admirers.
Mechanics
While it was not possible to test drive the car, the owner advises that the engine starts first time and that the clutch, gearbox and power delivery is very smooth. The twin exhausts sound very impressive, omitting a nice low rumble with the occasional yet reassuring crackle and pop.
In an effort to keep the car lightweight, there is no spare wheel or jack included.
The car is fitted with a brand-new heavy-duty battery (Feb 2021), and having just passed its MOT without any advisories, this car is ready to drive.
The Appeal
It goes without saying that, if you are a Peugeot Group B rally fan or perhaps remember watching them as a kid, you are probably falling over yourself already. The sound escaping from that tuned V6 engine via twin exhausts is certainly something to enjoy.
The value of 205’s generally has been showing a steady increase in recent years so this could be a great opportunity to own something very special indeed. But this isn’t so much about being a limited production or how so few on the road make it a good investment opportunity, the truth be told, this car is out in a league of its own, and it represents your chance to own a stunning, fresh to market, restored Peugeot 205 GTi Dimma that is probably one of the fastest Peugeot 205s in the world.

Come funzionano le offerte massime
Il processo di offerta massima ti permette di fare offerte senza preoccupazioni.
Inserisci la tua offerta massima e il sistema farà offerte automaticamente per assicurarsi che tu sia il miglior offerente - fino all'ammontare da te stabilito come tetto massimo.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic contrasta il fenomeno dello “sniping”, ovvero il fenomeno dei rilanci all'ultimo secondo per vincere l'asta.
Se viene fatta un'offerta nei 3 minuti prima della chiusura dell'asta, la scadenza di questa viene automaticamente estesa di 2 minuti per permettere agli altri offerenti di reagire e, se lo desiderano, di rilanciare.
Incrementi di offerta automatica
- Se la sua offerta massima è uguale o inferiore al prezzo di riserva, la sua offerta massima sarà applicata per intero se lei è il miglior offerente.
- Se siete il miglior offerente e fate un'offerta massima superiore a quella di riserva, la riserva verrà automaticamente inserita come prima offerta.
-
- Una volta raggiunta la riserva, Car & Classic si assicurerà che tu sia il miglior offerente utilizzando solo gli incrementi di offerta indicati di seguito.
- Vi terremo in testa fino alla vostra offerta massima O all'incremento più vicino alla vostra offerta massima, a condizione che la vostra offerta massima sia sufficiente a coprire il valore dell'incremento.
| Ammontare dell'offerta | Incremento |
|---|---|
| Da £0 a £9,999 | £100.00 |
| Da £10,000 a £49,999 | £250.00 |
| Da £50,000 a £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Superamento immediato dell'offerta
Quando piazzi un'offerta massima e questa viene immediatamente superata, questo significa che un altro offerente ha impostato una soglia di offerta massima superiore alla tua.
Puoi fare nuovamente un'offerta o impostare una soglia più alta di offerta massima e il nostro sistema rilancerà fino alla nuova soglia, cercando di portarti a essere il miglior offerente.
Offerte massime di pari ammontare
Quando ci sono due offerte massime di pari ammontare, quella impostata per prima è quella che viene considerata “migliore offerta”.
Pre-autorizzazione
Potremmo trattenere un piccolo importo di pre-autorizzazione sulla tua carta fino alla fine dell'asta, quando quest'ultimo verrà poi stornato. Se vinci, verrà prelevata una caparra che verrà detratta dal pagamento del prezzo di vendita per il veicolo e non comporta costi aggiuntivi per te.
Cosa sono le Offerte pre-asta?
Offerte pre-asta significa che avete la possibilità di fare offerte prima dell'inizio ufficiale dell'asta.
Verrà comunicato se si è il miglior offerente o meno all'inizio dell'asta.
Problema con l'offerta
Le offerte sono contrattualmente vincolanti. Per tutelare l'utente, sono previste alcune regole nel caso in cui si ritenga che sia stato digitato in modo errato. Si prega di controllare e modificare quanto inserito.
