The Peugeot 205 is a supermini (B-segment) car produced by the French manufacturer Peugeot from 1983 to 1999.
It was declared "car of the decade" by CAR Magazine in 1990. It also won What Car?'s Car of the Year for 1984.
The 1.6 litre GTI was launched in 1984, and came with a XU5J engine, producing 105 PS (77 kW; 104 hp), for the 1987 model year the XU5J received the cylinder head with larger valves thus becoming XU5JA. The new engine was quoted for 115 bhp (86 kW; 117 PS).
The shorter stroke 1.6 litre engine is famed for being revvy and eager.
The 205 is still often treated as a benchmark in group car tests of the newest GTI models or equivalent. Peugeot itself has never truly recreated this success in future GTI models.
In October 2020 Peugeot announced that their heritage brand "l'Aventure Peugeot" would make a factory restoration program for the 205 GTI available in 2021 as part of the company's 210th anniversary celebration.
In a superb state of preservation, both from the point of view of the bodywork and the interior which shows no great traces of wear, one can immediately see that this car has always been in careful hands. Its current mileage of 90.701 kilometres corresponds to the condition of the car. Well preserved specimens like this with low mileage have become rare. Car for sale due to selling off private collection.
