For Sale: Exceptional 1989 Peugeot 205 GTi 1. 6 - One Owner, Freshly Restored!
This is a truly rare find: a stunning 1989 Peugeot 205 GTi 1. 6 in excellent condition throughout, having undergone a full, bare-metal restoration completed in 2019. Presented in the rarely seen and highly desirable Sorento Green Metallic, this hot hatch is a real head-turner.
While showing two owners on paper, this GTi has been in the same ownership from new. The original owner first enjoyed it as a company car, and so impressed were they by its dynamic prowess, they purchased it outright. After 27 years of cherished ownership, a comprehensive overhaul was commissioned, bringing this iconic pocket rocket back to its former glory.
The Restoration:
No stone was left unturned during its extensive restoration, which included:
Full bare-metal repaint
New wheel arches and front wings
Repairs to the boot floor and rear inner arches
Full suspension rebuild
Full brake rebuild
Full engine rebuild
Gearbox service
Wiring overhaul
Seat outer cloth replaced, retaining original centers
New tyres
Plastics and trims restored
Badges restored
With its 1. 6-litre engine, this 205 GTi is becoming increasingly rare and sought-after compared to the more common 1. 9-litre models. The rebuilt engine has covered just under 500 miles since restoration, meaning it's barely run-in and has been carefully dry-stored in between.
This beloved Peugeot is only being sold due to personal circumstances, having been a cherished member of the family for decades. Don't miss your chance to own a piece of motoring legend, restored to an incredibly high standard.
