Description

Factory Dimma kit finished in Curacao Blue, Dimma Leather Seats, Turbo Technics Upgrade, Dimma 16 inch Wheels, Piper Hybrid Exhaust System, Stainless Fuel Cap, Dimma Graphics, Manual Windows, Heater, Clarion Radio Cassette, Boost Gauge, Central Locking The dramatic exterior is contrasted by a grey leather interior with seats piped blue – again all installed from new by Dimma as illustrated on the seat inserts. The interior space has been preserved well, with seat bolsters and door cards showing light patina, whilst thankfully the headlining remains tight and rear parcel shelf intact. The wheel and gear knob again appear in good condition whilst a boost gauge, now residing in the air vent, ensures you are aware of the turbo’s performance. First registered in 1988, this example went straight to Dimma UK and then on to Turbo Technics for the engine upgrade. With both the bodywork and engine installed from new this makes the car a very rare original ‘full fat’ conversion. Terry Pankhurst had quickly established a network of 12 Peugeot main dealers around the country, who between them, sold around 250 brand new conversions. These are considered the “factory” cars which are highly sought after and collectable. Many were uprated, like this car, with Turbo Technics conversions or 16v engines. After considerable time out of the public eye, the car became available in 2023 and was subject to a £20k rotisserie restoration from Dimma UK. As well as the aforementioned work to the body, the axle was refurbished alongside new suspension and braking system. In 2024 leading specialists, Pug1Off, then went to work on the drivetrain and a further £8k was invested in rebuilding the head, install of an OE Mi16 clutch kit and the Piper exhaust amongst a myriad of other works. Probably one of the most exciting cars to have been developed in the 80’s, this wild 205 comes with it’s original book pack alongside Turbo Technics literature from new.
