This Australian-market ‘Series 1.5’ Peugeot 205 GTI 1.9 is an acclaimed modern classic hot hatch, which is supplied with a detailed maintenance history. Under the bonnet is a rebuilt 1.9-litre inline-four, which produces up to 93kW and drives the front wheels via a five-speed manual transmission. The seller notes that the car was stored in a dry garage and on blocks between 2016 and 2024. The odometer shows 215,741 km. Build year: 1989 This 205 GTI is finished in Alpine White, over a grey and red-striped cloth-trimmed interior with red carpet. It rides on a set of 14-inch ‘Pepperpot’ wheels, fitted with new Kumho Solus TA21 tyres. Equipment includes a sunroof, air conditioning, and an updated Sony stereo. The car will be supplied with its owner’s manuals, as well as a reportedly fully stamped log /service book, the original stereo, and large collection of invoices for services and parts from new. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. Specific notes from the seller include: a few very minor taps on the body; a slightly larger dent near the sunroof (easily repairable, but owner has chosen to keep original) the original front seat trim has been tidied up plus new underfelt and soundproofing has been fitted throughout, and the A/C will need to be updated to new gas, and possibly require a compressor seal The car’s last technical inspection was completed in February 2025, resulting in a pass.
