Peugeot 205 GTI 3-Door

The hot hatch that needs no introduction - The 205 GTI. Often described as the greatest hot hatch of all time, and still used as a benchmark to this day by manufacturers when launching a new car. This particular 205 GTI started life as the fun and revvy XU5J 1.6, but in 2016 became the ultimate Peugeot with an MI16 conversion, now even outpowering the bigger 1.9 GTI by nearly 20hp! Other upgrades include the half leather from a 1.9 GTI, making this the ultimate 205GTI experience ready for a new enthusiast home.

Exterior

This 205 GTI is black exterior with red pinstriping around the bumpers - Rare OEM pepperpot wheels finish off the exterior perfectly! Overall the paintwork and wheels are in good presentable condition, but as expected for a 34 year old car there are some signs of age and mileage, incl small marks in certain areas but nothing that really detracts from what is a clean usable car, ready to enjoy!

Interior

Interior is very clean for age and mileage, and as described above has been upgraded to 1.9 GTI half leather. The only marks to the interior look to be from storage of something inside the car, and may subside with time. Windows & stereo work as they should (Period correct aftermarket headunit is a nice touch!)

Mechanical

This car is absolutely exceptional fun to drive! Once warm, the MI16 idles well, holds temperature and pressure efficiently, and is absolutely exceptional to drive! Its an engine that really does push you on, backed up by the exceptional chassis and R888r tyres with plenty of tread, providing all the road holding needed! The original XU5J engine is available with the car also for the buyer.

History

106,584 miles on the car, assume less on the engine which was installed in 2016 but with no paperwork to confirm.

HPI Clear

Provided with 12 months MOT (No advisories other than loud exhaust, and it is loud!) and a fresh Oil & plug Service.

Some paperwork available, prior to 2016 primarily.

Walk around video available. National Delivery can be arranged. Part Exchange Welcome. Viewing strictly by appointment.

While we try and take the time to describe the car as thoroughly as possible, as always with a classic car there are quirks that cannot reasonably uncovered by us here - Although, its these quirks that make us fall in love with classic cars! Please do consider this when purchasing a classic vehicle.
