Summary-
This is a straight, honest 205 GTi that has been cared for and sensibly maintained. A really fun and rewarding drive, whether you’re buying as a weekend car, an appreciating classic, or a true enthusiast’s example. my only reason for selling (if you noticed the tail gate badge!), is that I am now looking for an automatic.
Thanks for looking and viewings are most welcome in North Dorset. Happy to answer any questions and I am not a trader this is a private sale and I am not looking to part exchange it.
