1991 Peugeot 205XS Extremely Rare, 2 previous owner car For Sale

Hello and thanking for viewing my Ad for my super rare phase 2 (black dash) Peugeot 205 XS in Slate Grey Metallic. Again very rare, I havent ever seen one in this colour.

Where do I start? I bought the car around 6 months ago from a really nice bloke who I still keep in touch with via car and classic. The car is a testimony to his hard work. As he did most of the re commissioning.

The 205 is a 2 previous owner car that has lived a very pampered life. The car comes with 2 keys, genuine 205 mudflaps, brand new bespoke 205 XS Matt's and a folder absolutely brimmed with paperwork. Handbooks are all present as well as service book. Books are in excellent condition.

In 2017 the car had a full glass out respray in it's original colour. Slate grey was rare enough on a 205 GTI model let alone an xs. The bill is present for this and cost the previous owner over £1400. The finish is fantastic, genuine top work with zero defects to the paint. Amazing job, I take my hat off them. The bumpers were replaced with brand new items, all the lights were replaced with brand new items, the silver trim was also sourced and replaced and the previous owner found the last set of side trims in the UK to compliment the restoration. The attention to detail is amazing, new XS stickers fitted as well as a new windscreen.

In 2017 the car also had a trip to top peugeot tuner Pug1off. Where over £2500 was spent on a massive overhaul. The timing belt, water pump, and massive service was completed aswell as a new clutch and gearbox rebuild. This has to be one of the nicest gearboxes I have used in a 205 and I've owned over 15 in my time. The carb was also rebuilt. Any more questions please ask as it's all on the invoice. There is much more I'm sure.

When I bought the car I noticed it was burning abit of oil. Nothing terrible, but it bugged me. So without waiting I had the valve stem seals replaced as well as the head gasket by a mechanic who has over 20 years experiance working on peugeots. Hes done an amazing job. I also fitted a new distributor unit as the old one was failing (this was a rare part to find).

The car performs brilliantly, its 1. 4 Litre twin choke unit produces 85 bhp, but where the XS truly makes it numbers is in its weight. Only tipping the scales at around 850kg its eager, raw and not far off a 1. 6 GTI for performance. The second choke kicks in strong at around 3, 000 rpm. Engine sits lovely on temp gauge and idles bang on. Starts flick of the key with choke pulled out. Car sounds lovely with Solex Twin Choke set up.

The wheels were also shot blasted and powder coated in silver. All 4 including the spare have been done. 5 matching Bridgestone tyres have been fitted a with at least 6mm left. The handling is crisp and true, the car tracks perfectly.

The interior is stunning, no cracks on dash, no marks or blemishes, the seats are in superb condition with no rips and minimal sagging on the drivers seat. Heaters blow lovely and warm and the vacuum sunroof works as it should with no leaks. The boot floor was also sprayed at the time of paint so that is in superb condition. The black dash is a nice touch. This car is particularly rare as it was the very last batch made before Peugeot launched the GTX model, which was injection opposed to carb and much less celebrated.

Being on 1 of 82 left registerd on the roads, the Peugeot 205 XS is a rare car than its GTI sibling, people in the know will know that the XS is a very special car in the 205 line up and becoming very sought after too. I am in no rush to sell this car. I have purely put it up due to wanting to scratch another itch.

If this doesnt sell I will happily sit on it for another few years and watch it appreciate.

Any questions please let me know.
