The Attractions
The 205 GTI is the queen of small sports cars and, for many, one of the most rewarding cars ever to drive. Enthusiasts could choose between two versions, the light and lively 1.6 or the more powerful and faster 1.9.
Here we present an example of the GTI 1.9, painted in the popular dark grey metallic and, what is now very rare, completely standard, including alloy wheels and interior. This is a coveted version without a sunroof, and the body, paint, interior and mechanics were thoroughly restored in 2023.
Also considering its very low mileage, this is a very interesting and very usable example of this exciting hot hatch. It will be sold with freshly serviced overhaul.
