The Appeal

The Peugeot 205 GTI 1.9 needs little introduction. Widely celebrated as one of the '90s golden geese, this was one of the ultimate hot-hatches. Its combination of a rev-happy 1.9-litre engine, a sharp chassis, and featherweight construction set a benchmark that few rivals could match.
This 1988 example has undergone plenty of work while in the current ownership, and looks like a particularly handsome car. Recent work includes a professional detail, a service, and new brake pads and callipers all round. A fast road cam has been installed, and the alloy wheels have been refurbished. The vendor states the car starts and drives well, and has been used for shows and weekend outings.
