Description
Peugeot 205 GTi 1.9 - 1991 (J) - Black
A genuine UK Peugeot 205 GTi 1.9 finished in black, with the highly desirable original GTi half-leather interior and red carpet.
One of the most iconic hot hatches ever built, the 205 GTi offers a driving experience that modern cars struggle to replicate lightweight, agile and hugely engaging.
This is an honest, usable example with an extensive history file documenting its life from new, including paperwork from previous owners. It has been maintained and enjoyed rather than restored into a show car.

Condition
This is an honest 35-year-old classic and is not being advertised as a concours example.
The car has had paintwork carried out during its life, with different areas attended to at different times. The paint is there overall of varying finishes, but there are areas where the paint is thin.
There is some age-related corrosion, including:
* Rust to the top and bottom of the driver's A-pillar
* Some surface corrosion to areas of the boot floor
* Bend to bottom corner of drivers door where it caught the wheelie bin (not me!)
The car has not been cosmetically disguised and is offered as a genuine, usable GTi that can be enjoyed immediately, while leaving scope for further cosmetic improvement if the next owner wishes.
Rear tyre hanger and spare alloy wheel available but not fitted, as no tyre on the alloy.
History
The car comes with a comprehensive history file covering its life from new, including documentation from previous owners, servicing information and supporting paperwork.
The replacement reconditioned engine fitted by the previous owner provides excellent peace of mind.
A rare opportunity to own a genuine Peugeot 205 GTi 1.9 with excellent provenance, a strong mechanical package and the much-loved GTi interior specification.
Viewing welcome. Happy to provide additional photographs to genuinely interested buyers.
