SUMMARY

Very rare, early, 103bhp, 1,600cc GTi recently subject to a £25,000 restoration and in superb order throughout.

DESCRIPTION

  • The 205 GTi has long been regarded as one of the finest hot hatches ever produced, mating a featherweight chassis with superbly communicative handling and a rev-happy, naturally-aspirated engine
  • First registered in 1984, this early pre-Phase One is powered by the 1,580cc XU5J engine producing 103bhp (the 115bhp, XU5JA engine arrived a little later)
  • Having had just one previous owner, our vendor felt that it was the ideal basis for a full restoration
  • Carried out during 2021/2, the restoration was fully photo-documented and represented an investment of £25,000. The essence of the restoration was to return the car to its pure original showroom specification
  • The car now presents superbly in Futura Grey with a classic black and red interior and sitting on 'pepper pot' alloys
  • Supplied with photographic evidence of the restoration, receipts for all work carried out and pleasingly still retains its original Philips radio-cassette player
  • This early example from the first year of production is a rare find and with just one previous owner and in superb condition throughout, we believe it is not to missed
