Description
1991 (PH 2) Peugeot 205 GTi 1. 9 in Black over Black Hide & Red Quartet fabric.
The Peugeot 205 GTi needs no introduction. Launched in the 1980s, it quickly became one of the most sought-after hot hatches of its time, capturing the hearts of car enthusiasts and young drivers alike. With its razor-sharp handling, punchy engine, and lightweight build; the 205 GTi was a dream machine that many aspired to own. Even today, it remains a highly desirable and collectible car, representing the golden age of automotive design and engineering.
Originally delivered in 1991, this Peugeot 205 GTi is believed to have been supplied through Rootes Peugeot Maidstone to its first owner, Mr. Penman of Orpington, who kept the car well into the 2000s.
With just 81, 000 miles on the clock since new, this car comes with MOT records dating back to 2006, verifying its low mileage. It has been carefully maintained, with over £5, 000 recently invested in specialist work by the renowned experts at ‘Pug 1 Off’.
As a Phase 2 model, this GTi benefits from a few small improvements and refinements over the earlier versions – it’s also widely known as the ‘one to have’. This example comes equipped with the desirable 15-inch ‘pepper pot’ alloy wheels, which complement the car’s aggressive stance. The optional sunroof works perfectly with no leaks – electric windows, and a lockable glove compartment enhance both the comfort and convenience of this iconic vehicle. Additionally, the car features a modern Pioneer head unit for an updated audio experience, while still maintaining the classic charm of the 205 GTi.
One of the many delightful surprises about the 205 GTI is how spacious the interior is for such a small package – with ample leg and head room.
The roomy boot can easily be extended by flipping over one or both of the back seats – seats which are beautifully contoured to fit the passengers snugly and safely. The driver sits high with the small steering wheel comfortably low in the lap and the pedals and gear shift working in perfect harmony.
It was specifically designed to give maximum comfort because, as their rally champions have proved, you’ve got to be sitting comfortably in order to drive superbly.
The black leather seats with Red Quartet fabric inserts are in excellent condition, showing only age related signs of wear on the rear bench. The interior is clean, well-preserved, and retains all the charm that made the 205 GTi such a hit back in the day. The exterior paintwork is equally impressive, with a deep, lustrous finish that highlights the car’s timeless design.
Whether you’re looking for a thrilling weekend toy or a classic car investment, this GTi delivers on all fronts. Its low mileage, recent specialist work, and desirable specification make it a standout example in today’s market.
