Smart and original interior
Long MOT to May 2024
THE APPEAL
One of the most iconic hatchbacks to come from the 80s, if not ever, the 205 GTI has been a fan favourite ever since its release. In fact, the 205 GTI has never really struggled with popularity, enthusiasts and petrolheads have always sourced, raced and enjoyed the model, picking up affordable examples and thrashing them around a track without any real concern for its well being.
As of late, however, the car has evolved to iconic status and the days of picking up a cheap car are diminishing with exceptional examples reaching upwards of £30,000. With this shift in status, the desire for good, unmolested examples has grown and as such so has the price buyers are willing to pay.
This appetite for originality makes this Phase 1.5 205 GTI a very attractive offering, benefiting from a recent respray, the paint of the car is presented exceptionally. Powered by the revvy 1,580cc inline-4 the car is reported to drive fantastically and how a GTI should, agile, fun and thrilling. Its original interior could benefit from a minor uplift but otherwise, this GTI would make a wise investment especially as prices continue to climb further. Peugeot205GTI-17.05.23-1.jpg247.88 KB
The 205 GTI has become the celebrity we all have claimed to have met, bumped into or seen driving down the street once, its reached legendary status and its desirability is increasing year after year.
Original, good examples are becoming harder and harder to find and more and more expensive, this GTI offers a good exterior thanks to a recent respray plus an original untouched interior that with a little car could take this GTI to another level. A very attractive opportunity to own a hero of the hatchback world.
