Vehicle Detail
USA Registered and Track-Ready Peugeot 205 GTi Up for sale is my 1985 Peugeot 205 GTi. Just recently registered in the state of Maryland; this 205 GTi is ready for track days or weekend driving! It's a rare car in Europe, but even more so here in the U.S.. A lot of work has been done to this car thus far.Here's a list of what it has to offer; Full Safety Devices rollcagePerformance suspensionCobra racing seatSparco racing harnessEntire half leather seat setMomo racing steering wheel, and original GTi steering wheelSpeedline Corse 15" wheelsOMP strut bracesPiper engine back performance exhaustBig disc brakesSunroofKenwood KDC-X995 eXcelon w/ aux port, iPod hookup, CD, etc..Pioneer speakersPioneer six-tape cassette holder/ changer/ thing! (seriously…)Power windowsFire extinguisher and mounting bracketPower cut-off switchCold air intakeNew foglightsOEM Peugeot 205 GTi mudguards (very difficult to find!)Reflective Peugeot 205 hatch strip (similar to what you'd see on other 80s cars, like the 911)And a crap load of extra parts (incl. sport hood)I currently have the front half-leather seats in, carpet, lower dash, and half of the roll cage in. However, all of that can be taken out and the full rollcage and racing seat and harness can be put in. Both the seat and harness already have the anchors in place. So, it's only maybe a couple hour job to take the nicer bits out and have it ready for track action. As you can see in the pictures; it's already seen some time on the track. The car is extremely reliable for its age. It has a number of newer parts, including a brand new fuel pump, new oil filter, spark plugs, alternator belt, etc.. However, it is old. There are a few dings on the side of the body and minor scratches from idiots who do not know how to open their car doors. The plastic strip between tail lights also cracked in half during this last winter. However, I have a very hard to find reflective version of it with the text "Peugeot 205" that can be used instead (very 80s). The front spoiler is also cracked. And there is a little bit of rust on the outside of the hatch. All of it is very minimal and easily fixed. My suggestion would be to take the trim off (I have extra trim clips), fix the few blemishes, and repaint it. Other than that, I don't recall any major rust problems. The wheel wells, body, frame, and undercarriage are all quite clean. It is also right-hand drive. Some rumors need to be squashed about RHD vehicles. First off, the clutch is not opposite of LHD. Secondly, neither is the shifting. No it's not completely opposite of how a LHD manual vehicle is driven. The only difference is that the gear shift is on your left, rather than the right. That's it. For this vehicle, you will barely feel any difference between it being LHD and RHD because of how small it is. It does have newer LHD headlights. So you will not be blinding anyone if you decide to drive it at night. Why didn't I buy a LHD version? I bought this car from a really nice elder lady who lives in Whales. Her husband, a car collector, had passed away. I had looked for a LHD one in Spain, Portugal, and France. However, finding the right one that wasn't Jacky-tuned, the right color, and in decent condition was not successful. It's a very cool car. It drives like a hooligan and it definitely turns a lot of heads. Rally fans will absolutely enjoy this tiny monster. Selling because of lack of space. Feel free to ask any questions.
