Description
1985 PEUGEOT 205 GTI French vehicle registration document Chassis no. VF3741C66F5765665 - An iconic French car - Extensive restoration - Only 107,000 km on the clock Launched in March 1984 by Peugeot, the Peugeot 205 GTI became the undisputed icon of the 1980s ‘hot hatches’. Designed to rival the Volkswagen Golf GTI, it debuted with a 1.6-litre engine producing 105 ch before evolving to 115 ch, and later featuring a 1.9-litre engine delivering 130 ch. Lightweight, agile and equipped with a chassis renowned for its precision, it offered dynamic handling that immediately appealed to thrill-seekers. Propelled into the limelight by the successes of its big sister, the 205 Turbo 16, in the World Rally Championship, the GTI quickly established itself as a cultural and commercial phenomenon. With over 290,000 units produced up until 1994, it remains today an essential benchmark in the heritage of French GTIs. The example we are presenting here is a 1985 Peugeot 205 GTI Phase 1, in Blanc Meije, originally from France. This GTI underwent extensive restoration around ten years ago. The owner informs us that the engine underwent a major overhaul, including the replacement of the connecting rod bearings, the cylinder head gasket, the clutch and the timing belt. The running gear has also been overhauled. The bodywork has been repainted and the interior refurbished, including a refurbishment of the driver’s seat. However, we do not have any invoices to document the work carried out on the vehicle. This car has 106,700 km on the odometer, a mileage certified by the Histovec report. The last great icon of the 1980s ‘bombinettes’ era, the 205 GTI remains a historic benchmark for the French sports city car, particularly due to its dynamic qualities and its significant commercial success. 1984 PEUGEOT 205 GTI Phase 1 French vehicle registration document Chassis no.
