EXTERIOR
This low mileage 1. 9 presents in really nice original condition. Looking along both sides it?s very straight and the panel gaps are consistent. The car has never been fully restored and while not a concours example it still looks fantastic. Being extremely picky there are a handful of minor paint defects to note on very close inspection, one or two small dings, and quite typically of the model some cosmetic stress cracks are visible in the usual places. All the plastic trims have recently been treated and so present with a lovely uniform finish free from any fading or damage. The lights are immaculate, the glass is all-original, and having clearly been garaged for most of its life all the rubber seals still feel supple. The car is also excellent underneath; following an inspection by our trusted classic car workshop the technicians were pleased to report that the underside remains in particularly sound condition. The 15-inch wheels have recently been refurbished and so present perfectly.
INTERIOR
The interior also appears in first-rate condition with none of the normal fading to the carpets or upholstery. The seat bolsters have not sagged and the leather remains in brilliant original condition. The steering wheel has been professionally re-trimmed to a high standard and not only looks the part but also feels great in-hand. There are no cracks or areas of sun damage to any of the dash or black plastic trims, the door cards are perfect, and the original vacuum sunroof operates exactly as it should with no leaks. A couple of nice upgrades over standard include a Kenwood CD player and a complete set of tailored overmats in red.
ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
The venerable 1. 9-litre engine bursts into life first turn of the key and pulls through the rev range eagerly. We have sold lots of these over the years and all agree this is one of the best driving examples we?ve had the pleasure of selling. Following on from a few years in storage the car was extensively re-commissioned only 600 miles ago and, for the new keeper?s peace of mind, we have just had it inspected to ensure everything still remains in tip-top shape. Some of the re-commissioning items include:

? Replace distributor cap and rotor arm
? Replace rear main oil seal and rear main cap seals
? Replace clutch and flywheel bolts

HISTORY FILE
This cracking little 205 GTI was first registered in March 1993. Supplied new by Peugeot in Coventry it has now driven just 88, 828 miles. The accompanying paperwork is complete with the original Peugeot document wallet and handbooks, two service books with 21 stamps, a thick raft of invoices dating back to the mid-nineties, lots of MOT certificates, a spare key, the V5C showing 9 former keepers, and some nice original 205 sales brochures. Under current ownership the car has been treated to a full mechanical re-commissioning carried out only 600 miles ago. Freshly inspected at the current mileage she?s more than ready to hit the new owner's favourite country roads.
