Exterior
From the first day of ownership this example was carefully stored by the original keeper until 2012. Since then, the car has had just three additional owners who have also kept it garaged to preserve its amazing condition. The result is a car that's 36 years old but still looks incredibly clean and sharp. The Alpine White paintwork is in superb original condition with only a couple of small marks to evidence its age. Commonly faded items such as the bumpers and rubbing strips also remain in excellent order with no damage. All the windows are original Peugeot and are stamped with the registration number to further verify this. Quite remarkably the original Speedline wheels also retain their factory paint having never required any refurb work. All in all, a surely unrepeatable example and a true collector’s piece.
Interior
Opening the door of the 205 you are greeted by an interior space that looks fresh and completely in line with the low mileage of 5k. With the exception of some very minor wrinkling on the driver’s bolster the cabin is all-original and in excellent order throughout. The switchgear still displays an unworn texture and everything works exactly as it should. Commonly worn items such as the steering wheel and gear knob are without fault, and pleasingly the original Philips cassette player remains in place. Genuine Peugeot rubber mats protect the footwell carpets, and at the rear of the car the parcel shelf is free from any unsightly speakers holes.
