The Appeal

While there are plenty of claims out there for the definitive hot-hatch, it's hard to argue that the Peugeot 205 brings plenty of provenance to the party. These cars are so legendary that they're still held up as a yardstick for anything even claiming to be a hot hatch. It's a car that very much acts as an icon of its era - a more practical eye for the Supermini at a time when the name was still affiliated with the Fiat 127.

This fabulous example deserves to be as revered as its legendary badging suggestions. Beautifully presented, with a commendably low mileage of 34,327 miles from new, this car is accompanied by an extensive service history and has been kept by the same owner from new. It's highly original, sure to impress any purist, and will no doubt garner plenty of interest at auction.
