1989 PEUGEOT 205 1.1 GL 5-door - 58,163 miles For Sale

Year: 1989
Mileage: 58, 163
Colour: Silver
Reg. Date: 02/ 08/ 1989
MOT: February 2019

We bought this car earlier in the year because it crossed our path and we just had to have it. We loved the low mileage and great service history, but most of all, it shone as a very very honest example.

When we first bought it there were a couple of very minor issues. All minor and nothing you wouldn't expect with any classic car but as our plan was to keep it for ourselves, we wanted to make it as mechanically perfect as we could. So we tracked down and repaired a minor oil leak (camshaft oil seals), went through the brake pipes and replaced any that were looking corroded and renewed both front wheel bearings. After that we had a minor dent in the left front wing repaired and refurbished some stitching on the driver's seat which had split.

And then it was added to our own little collection.

But the simple truth is that we are just not using it enough. It comes out every few weeks for a run but we're lucky that we have many other cars. It's just time to pass it on to someone new.

The car is completely rust free and in superb mechanical condition. The interior looks amazing and the bodywork is good - good but not perfect as much of the paint seems to be original and you will see some small marks here and there. We actually considered a full respray to make it show condition but decided that would be excessive as it still looks amazing and we preferred the originality. (See the photos - we're being VERY fussy. It's doesn't need a respray by any means.)

It's also surprisingly fun to drive. We had expected the lack of horsepower to make it slow but it's just as able as most brand-new small cars.

It will certainly be missed but really has to go to someone who will use it more. We're genuinely not selling it to make any money. We're selling it so that it can have a better life elsewhere. That's important to us... as silly as it sounds for a car dealer.

Please ask any questions you wish, nothing is too much trouble. We welcome absolutely any inspection, test drive or trial - 0208 11 11 289.
