Presentation

This 1989 Peugeot 205 GTI 1.6 115 from France is a 3rd hand car with 515.000 km and a complete history. The seller indicates that the car is in excellent general condition, that it has a valid Technical Inspection and that it has been fully restored. The seller specifies that the first owner of this 205 GTI kept it for 20 years and drove it 475.000 km. The 2nd owner, a garage owner, kept it for 3 years and drove it about 3.000 km. The current owner then acquired it in 2012 and undertook a full restoration in 2016.

On the outside the car is in excellent condition. In 2016, the body was completely stripped and sent to body shop to receive a snag rectification and paint in its original shade (see gallery). The exterior plastics and seals are in very good condition, as are the front and rear lights and windshield replaced in 2016. The seller indicates that this Peugeot is rust free and has never been in an accident. He also states that the car is completely original on the outside. New logos and quarter panels have been installed.

The interior is in excellent condition. The "monaco" fabric upholstery has no tears or holes. The front seats have received new seat and side foams. The steering wheel and dashboard are in very good condition and show no visible patina. The seller indicates that the only defect is a hole in the gear lever bellows (see gallery). The on-board instrumentation and electrical equipment are functioning normally.

The 1.6-liter 4-cylinder developed 115 hp when it left the factory. The seller indicates that the mechanics work perfectly as well as the 5-speed manual transmission. The seller indicates that the engine has been changed at 245.000km in standard exchange. This 205 GTI has benefited from a regular follow-up and maintenance justifiable by UTAC reports and by the complete history of the vehicle (invoices, technical controls, engine and gearbox standard exchange certificate at 245.000km or the order form of the car in 1989).
