We are delighted to offer for sale this iconic Peugeot 205 GTi 1.9, finished in arguably the very best colour of all, Miami Blue. Few cars can genuinely lay claim to being the greatest hot hatch of all time, but the 205 GTi has a very strong case. Lightweight, beautifully balanced and full of character, it remains one of the most rewarding driver’s cars ever produced. Sourced from a private collection, this was already an exceptionally clean example when we acquired it. Rather than simply putting it straight up for sale, we entrusted the car to the experts at Pug1Off for a comprehensive mechanical inspection, adopting an open-chequebook approach to addressing anything requiring attention, both now and in the foreseeable future. The resulting work totalled over £5,000, and can be found listed on our website in greater detail. Pleasingly, the underside is completely free from corrosion, with Matt at Pug1Off specifically commenting on the car’s “corrosion-free” bodyshell. The paintwork is equally impressive, presenting beautifully without the unwanted marks or blemishes that can let otherwise promising examples down. Inside, the car is among the best we have seen. It retains its factory radio head unit and has the feel of a well-loved, unspoilt example that has clearly been cherished rather than abused. The alloy wheels have been professionally refurbished, and we have fitted four brand-new Michelin Pilot Sport 3 tyres, completing a package that looks fantastic and is ready to be enjoyed. Ultimately, this is a very special 205 GTi 1.9. Whether you’re looking to add a genuine icon to your collection, find a cherished example for weekend drives, or simply own a car that puts a smile on your face every time you get behind the wheel, this is well worth your attention. Having spent a considerable amount of time searching for the right example, I know just how difficult it is to find one that combines this level of condition, originality and mechanical preparation. A proper enthusiast’s car, ready to be enjoyed and appreciated for years to come.
