Description

The Peugeot 205 GTI was considered the ultimate European Hot Hatch (along with the VW GTi). The GTIs are valuable collectibles, selling has high as $30k in Europe. This Peugeot 205 is "almost" a GTI.....it has many of the same sporting features but is powered by a 1.6 liter mono-point (throttle-body) injected engine instead of the GTI's multipoint system. This car runs great with plenty of power (I believe it has 94hp) and sharp handling. It's a pretty small car by today's standards and it w...

Our Take:

Peugeot 205: A Legend in Compact Design: The Peugeot 205 was an icon of its time, especially renowned for its lightweight construction and nimble handling. It's no surprise that the 205 GTI is hailed alongside the original VW Golf GTI as a benchmark in the hot hatch segment. While this particular model isn't a GTI, it still carries the fundamental design ethos that made the 205 range so beloved.
Unique Powertrain Setup: The 1.6-liter mono-point injected engine sets this 205 apart from the multipoint-injected GTI. Although it's not as punchy as its sportier sibling, this powerplant was known for its reliability and efficiency. Producing around 94 horsepower, it captures the essence of 90s small car performance—simple yet spirited.
Cultural Journey: Originally sold in France, this vehicle has already lived quite a life, having traveled from Europe to the USA, with a pit stop in Poland. It's like a piece of French culture that brings along stories of cross-continental adventures, quite the tale for any car enthusiast who appreciates a vehicle with history.
Condition and Collectability: With 64,800 miles, this 205 has been driven moderately for its age. A rust-free body is a significant plus (especially for a car hailing from Europe), and while it has a few dings, that adds character. As these models become rarer, especially in the U.S., its appeal as a collectible item continues to grow among those who appreciate vintage European compacts.
