1990 Peugeot

1990 Peugeot 205 1.9 GTi. Non-sunroof car finished in metallic graphite grey.

From a mechanical viewpoint the car is in excellent condition. Any minor engine issues have been rectified immediately, meaning the engine idles and runs superbly. Oil and filter changes have been carried out at regular 6 month or 6000 mile intervals (whichever is soonest), and the cambelt was replaced when I purchased the car in May 2013. The original service record is present and comprehensive up to 42000 miles. The rear beam is in full working order, however I have no documentation refering to when it was last rebuilt.

Unfortunately, the car is let down by the paintwork, particularly on the nearside where a poor attempt at a respray has been undertaken at some point in the cars past. The bodywork also has dings on the bonnet, n/s door, tailgate and rear quarters. On a positive note the body does benefit from having very little rust, with the rear bumper mounts being the only noticeable area of concern.

It should be noted that the car was subject to a Cat C insurance claim in 2004. I suspect the damage was inflicted to the n/s front end, as it would appear the n/s front wing has been replaced at some point and the previous MOT's contain advisories for inner wing corrosion / slight damage. From the car's history it appears the car was put back on the road until 2006, when it was placed into storage. I returned the car to the road upon purchase in May 2013 and have been using it reguarly since. MOT is present until 30 Decemeber 2015. The drivers binnacle was replaced when I purchased the car, and therefore indicates a mileage of 70,000. The correct mileage for the car is approximatley 152,000, which is supported by previous MOT certificates.

From my own viewpoint, I can see the car being ideal for two different uses. The first is a rolling restoration project for someone looking to invest occasional time and resources to bring it up to a better standard, both of which I no longer have. The car may also appeal to someone looking for a car to use in racing applications, mainly due to it being a non-sunroof model. Despite the bodywork, the car compares favourably with previous 205 GTi's I have owned in terms of driving experience.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or would like to arrange a viewing. The car is located in Dundee, Scotland.
