Description
1990 Peugeot 205 GR, 1. 4L, 5 Speed, Petrol, Manual, 76k, £2, 995.
Taken in part exchange and now offered for sale, this charming little French hatchback presents an opportunity to own a genuinely honest and increasingly rare example of the ever-popular Peugeot 205.
Finished in its original factory paint, this 5-door GR is by no means a concours car, but that’s exactly where much of its appeal lies. Wonderfully original throughout, it appears never to have undergone any bodywork repairs, wearing its years with pride. Expect the usual age-related marks, scratches and the odd blemish – all contributing to the character of this unspoiled survivor.
Across its 36-year life, the car has had just 7 previous keepers and covered a modest 76, 000 miles.
Mechanically, it has been maintained to a respectable standard, with a cambelt change and full engine service carried out prior to sale by a local specialist. Vettura Hangar | Specialist Garage in Suffolk
Importantly, this example remains impressively solid. The underside is notably straight, with no signs of corrosion, and it has recently been subject to a professional underseal.
Inside, the Jacquard cloth interior presents very well, showing only light wear consistent with its mileage. A pleasingly original cabin is complemented by a few period touches including rear ashtrays and central locking, while a more modern MP3 head unit has been fitted (with the original radio retained).
Further features include a desirable glass sunroof and a set of Roland Garros-style alloy wheels currently fitted, with the original wheels also supplied. The car sits on a full set of Falken tyres to all four corners.
Originally supplied by Clifford’s of Sidcup, Kent, this 205 comes complete with its original book packs and manuals – a nice touch for those who appreciate provenance.
Whether you’re looking for a simple, usable summer runabout or a solid base to take to the next level, this is an honest and usable example that can be enjoyed exactly as it stands.
Offered for sale with a valid advisory free MOT until June 2027, it is ready to be enjoyed.
