Introduced in 1984, the Peugeot 205 1.6 GTi has long enjoyed a reputation as one of the best 'hot hatches' ever made. Based around a lightweight three-door monocoque bodyshell, the newcomer was equipped with all-round independent suspension (McPherson strut front/trailing arm rear), disc/drum brakes and rack and pinion steering. Initially credited with developing 104bhp and 97lbft of torque, it's predominantly alloy SOHC 1580cc engine was notably revvy and eager. Receiving a new cylinder head for the 1987 model year which boosted outputs to 113bhp and 99lbft of torque, the four-cylinder unit was allied to a five-speed manual transmission. Despite impressive performance figures (0-60mph in 8.6 seconds and 121mph), it was the model's handling that won over the contemporary motoring press.

This 205 GTi was manufactured in 1987, being first UK registered in June 1987 and supplied new by Walchry Motors Ltd, Walton-on-Thames to a WCRS Ltd, London. Fitted with the 1905cc straight-four engine with a five-speed manual transmission, the Peugeot is finished in Graphite grey paintwork with half leather and cloth interior upholstery. Entering current ownership in 2017, the 205 GTi had been in previously custodianship since 1990 and had spent the majority of this period off the road. Having covered only 66,515 miles from new (at time of consignment), the Peugeot has only four former keepers.

Recommissioned in 2017 upon entering current ownership, the Peugeot received a new rotor arm; rocker cover gasket; spark plugs; struct top mounts; front shock structs; engine mounts and thermostat. Further benefitting from two new tie rod ends in 2021 and having attention to the timing, ‘D86 BPH’ is offered with the original stamped service book (showing eight stamps), owner's guide, and extended warranty book, presented in the original wallet, along with a collection of invoices and a current V5C.
