Lot details
Registration No: L929UGC
Chassis No: VF320CDK225182651
Mot Expiry: Jan 2009
Introduced in December 1986, the Peugeot 205 1.9 GTi has long enjoyed a reputation as one of the best 'hot hatches' ever made. Based around a lightweight three-door monocoque bodyshell, the newcomer was equipped with all-round independent suspension (McPherson strut front / trailing arm rear), four-wheel disc brakes and rack and pinion steering. Credited with developing some 130bhp and 119lbft of torque, its predominantly alloy SOHC 1905cc four-cylinder engine was allied to five-speed manual transmission. Despite impressive performance figures (0-60mph in 7.6 seconds and 124mph), it was the model's handling that won over the contemporary motoring press. Weighing in at just 880kg, the 205 1.9 GTi possessed a nimbleness and delicacy of feel sadly lacking from its modern equivalents. Though, the absence of any and all electronic driver aids can be a little disconcerting for the unwary. Boasting half leather seats, electric windows, Speedline alloys and central locking as standard, the Peugeot could be ordered in a variety of solid and metallic colours. An enduring performance icon, it remained in production until 1994.
Finished in Miami Blue metallic with two-tone grey half leather upholstery, this particular example is described by the vendor as being in "good" condition with regard to its engine, five-speed manual gearbox, electrical equipment, interior trim, chassis, bodywork, paintwork and wheels / tyres. Sourced from specialist garage Just GTis, 'L929 UGC' has been in the current ownership since October 2006. As well as its sought after paint scheme (which first appeared on a 1990 limited edition model), the Peugeot is understood to benefit from a sunroof, K&N performance air filter and Magnex big-bore stainless steel exhaust silencer. Showing an unwarranted 108,000 miles to its odometer, the 205 is said to "drive well" with an engine that is "sweet as a nut". Riding on correct type alloys, this well presented GTi is offered for sale with MOT certificate valid until January 2009 and road tax valid until July 2008.
