The Appeal
The Peugeot 205 GTi is widely regarded as one of the finest hot hatchbacks ever produced. The 1.6-litre variant, with its 115bhp and wonderfully communicative chassis, defined a generation of driver's cars and remains hugely sought after today.
This 1990 example in Graphite Grey with red pinstripes has had just two former registered keepers and has been off the road since 2003, covering around 50 miles in the intervening 23 years. Having been passed to the current vendor approximately four years ago, it has undergone a thorough recommissioning and will reportedly be offered with a fresh MOT.
The bodywork is reported to have a solid underside and sills, and the interior retains its black fabric with red detailing. A collection of MOT certificates traces the mileage from 67,200 in 1997 through to 80,470 in 2003, and the odometer currently indicates 80,520 miles. For anyone seeking a well-presented, recently recommissioned 205 GTI, this is one worth a closer look.
