This iconic 1988 Peugeot 205 GTI 1. 6, offered at No Reserve, is certain to be sought-after. It has recently been fully recommissioned following an extended period of dry storage – it has been off the road for an incredible 25 years. This is evidenced by the car having just three former keepers, with the first and second owning it for an extended period between 1988 and 2015. It was originally owned by Dixons Motor Group.
The recommissioning of ‘F255DKO’ saw it fitted with a new clutch and tyres, a new cambelt and a full service including the brakes. The very rare original alloy wheels were professionally refurbished, and it passed an MOT with no advisories – it is valid until January 2026. This further enhances a service history that features 16 previous service stamps, while all the original sales brochure and books are included. The odometer reads 136, 000 miles and the vendor says the original interior is a real standout, rating it as being in ‘excellent’ condition.
The famous Peugeot 205 GTI is one of the most iconic cars of the 1980s, and a certain contender for the title of best hot hatch ever. Enthusiasts particularly rate the 1. 6-litre version, for its purer handling and better steering feel, while the ultra-smooth engine and simply brilliant gearbox are as much of a highlight as the pin-sharp and incredibly nimble handling. With highly original Peugeot 205 GTI examples becoming super-rare, this car presents a particularly unique opportunity to acquire an unmolested car, with just three former keepers and a great history, that could become a gold standard reference car in years to come. That ‘F255DKO’ is being offered at No Reserve simply adds further to its auction hall desirability.
