Impressive service history before parked with main dealers and Peugeot Specialists
Includes a donor vehicle and a large selection of parts for restoration
Interior in very good condition
The Appeal
Not many cars can carry eight people. These days you're limited to a small selection of eye-wateringly expensive vans. Not even a Range Rover can manage it. And yet, Peugeot seated eight quite comfortable in an estate of all things! Très bien.
The simply brilliant 505 GTI Family is a reminder of just how good Peugeot used to be. It hails from an era when French car manufacturers in particular were at the top of their game, packing all their immense know-how and gallic esotericism into a selection of sublime family cars. There was the Citroën CX, Renault Espace, and from Peugeot, our 505 GTI Family. Or should we say "Families"? As dear reader, we're offering not one, but two of these ultra-rare super estates...
Let's start with the main event. This silver 1990 example has had just two former keepers and was looked after by a Peugeot main dealer for the first two years of its life and then by a marque specialist until parked in 2012. It was a much-loved family bus and its present faded grandeur shows this is a car that's only recently fallen upon hard times. The vendor's husband purchased it as a restoration project, along with the maroon donor car and haul of rare parts, but unfortunately, they haven't been able to do it.
The silver 505 was running and driving until last year, occasionally exercised around the storage compound, but now, alas, it no longer starts. The second car is clearly a little worse for wear in comparison, but is sure to have a great many usable (and very rare parts) or could well be the basis for a second project.
