The Appeal
Want to understand just how good a hot hatchback can be? Buy a Peugeot 205 GTi.
You're in luck - here's a lovely example. This 1991 1.6-litre GTi presents superbly throughout, benefiting from copious maintenance and cosmetic improvement. It remains remarkably original throughout and the vendor informs us it has been thoroughly protected against future corrosion.
The 1.6-litre variant is often cited as the smoother of the two Peugeot 205 GTis to drive, and this one is said to be in a very fit state of tune, having had its suspension geometry adjusted for optimum handling.
Recent servicing includes a new timing belt, water pump, and brake components, ensuring the car is ready to go for its next custodian.
