1988 Peugeot 205 GTi 1.9 – $19,500

Recognized as one of the all-time-great hot hatches, the later version of the 205 GTi featured a 1.9-litre, fuel injected motor. This car’s from the sweet-spot in GTi production, with the most powerful (130bhp) motor. From 1992, the power output was reduced.

Genuine, original cars are very sought after. An Australian-delivered example, finished in Alpine White with cloth upholstery and the GTi’s signature red carpet, plus optional sunroof, this car recently arrived in Perth from Victoria.

The previous owner in Melbourne had spent over $6000 between 2023 and 2025 on maintenance and repair work on the car. This included the cam belt, and since this was changed, the car has just covered 100km. The odometer shows 313,000km.

On purchasing the car in August and having it shipped to Western Australia, and underwent a license inspectoin. Fortunately very little was required – and the car sailed through its registration inspection. The owner has also replaced the battery.

The GTi presents well, though there are a few blemishes and a couple of scratches. Inside, the upholstery is excellent. The car has the original Peugeot stereo and power windows. The owner advises that the sunroof does not work and he has not investigated why it doesn’t operate.

Under the bonnet, everything is as it should be. The car starts instantly and performs well showing the fun driving characteristics that this model is renowned for.

The car is registered (1IST538) to March 2026. It is eligible for club license.

This 205 GTi is very realistically priced, this is an honest, neat example which retains tremendous 1980s fun factor.
