The seller offers for sale this 1991 Peugeot 205 Rallye 1.3, powered by a 1.3-litre four-cylinder petrol engine, paired with a manual transmission. This is a Spanish-delivered car that has had just two owners from new, and according to the seller it has been maintained with great care, always respecting the essence of this emblematic model. The car benefits from a complete exterior repaint, underbody protection with anti-gravel coating, and a full interior retrim with new upholstery on both the front and rear seats. The technical inspection (ITV) is valid until July 2027.
A long list of recent maintenance work has been carried out, including the timing belt (approximately 5,000 km ago), a new ignition coil, spark plugs, ignition leads and distributor cap, an overhaul of the twin carburettors with replacement of the gaskets and accelerator jets, a new expansion tank and a new heater radiator. The seller has compiled an extensive photographic record of the restoration process, covering the complete paintwork, the step-by-step seat retrim and the various other jobs carried out. All of this documentation will be made available to the buyer, offering transparency and allowing the care invested in the car to be verified.
The 205 Rallye occupies a special place in the history of the hot hatch. Developed by Peugeot Talbot Sport as a lightweight, back-to-basics performance model, it paired the 205’s brilliant chassis with a high-revving 1,294 cc TU-series engine breathing through twin carburettors, while stripping out weight to create one of the purest driving machines of its era. Instantly recognisable by its white paintwork, steel wheels and colourful Rallye graphics, it has become a cult favourite among enthusiasts, and cars in this state of presentation are increasingly hard to find. This example, with its documented history and recent recommissioning, is ideal both for the classic enthusiast and for anyone looking for a 205 Rallye to preserve and enjoy.
