The Attractions

Enthusiasts particularly attentive to build quality preferred the Golf, but for those who preferred speed and driving dynamics, the Peugeot 205 GTi was the undisputed queen of the hot hatch. A true icon of its era, the legendary 1.9 version was capable of challenging many supercars on the narrowest and most twisty roads.

This 1988 example has undergone a complete restoration to a very high standard. The seller has informed us that the 113,013 km indicated on the odometer are real, so it has a very low mileage for a car that is almost forty years old. We have also been assured that it is very pleasant to drive.
