At the Geneva Motor Show in March 1984, Peugeot presented the 205 GTI, a sporty version of the 205 city car it had launched a year earlier. Initially offered in a 1.6-L, 105-hp version, in March 1986 it became available with 115 hp as an option, and by the end of that year the option became standard, as did a 1.9-L version developing 130 hp.
The GTI on sale is part of the first series with Jaeger instruments, and remains the most sought-after today. It was sold new on December 7, 1984, by the Peugeot Ortelli garage in Hyères, and has known only two owners. The first, a certain André Clavel, kept it from 1984 to 2010 before selling it to the current owner. But the incredible thing is its very low original mileage: 33,400 km! Just imagine what exceptional condition this 205 is in. It has just been completely serviced, with four new tires, new silent blocks, rear brakes, timing system and water pump and, of course, all fluids changed. The interior is immaculate, fresh from the dealership, with superb carpets and first-class paintwork.
Many 205 GTIs have suffered harsh treatment by their successive owners, and some have even been tuned, so it’s truly rare to find an original 205 GTI delivered with all its booklets and manuals, and in such condition — moreover, in the same color as when it was launched.
