About this vehicle

There are more detailed photos below. This is actually a 1990 Peugeot 205 GTI (eBay doesn’t recognize imported cars VIN’s). The car was originally from Spain and in a warm climate before the prior owner to me, imported it in the US - they lived in CA. The car is rust free and very solid due to its origin in Spain and previous ownership in CA. The mileage is 151,499 kilometers (on the chassis), which converts to approximately 94,137 miles. The car doesn’t have the original engine. The previous owner swapped the original for an Mi16 engine or Peugeot XU9J4. This is a more powerful engine and popular swap in Europe. If you look for Tolman Edition 205 videos online, you’ll find several reviews of a car with this setup that sells for six figures in the UK. The car has a 5 speed manual gearbox. The battery was relocated to the trunk to allow more space under the hood. The car dyno’d at about 135 hp at the wheels for the previous owner (and before all the maintenance I’ve performed). The car has an aftermarket front valance but otherwise looks mainly stock. The car has adjustable coilovers in the front. I have a clean US (state of MN) title in hand.

Seller's Notes

The fuse panel cover on the left of the steering wheel doesn’t close. The tires are fairly new and in great shape. Mechanically the car runs very strong. I included detailed photos of wear on the interior and exterior. But overall the cosmetics are good for a 34 year old hatchback. The lights, blinkers, power windows all operate. The stereo must be turned on and off manually. The car doesn’t have air conditioning. Note the oil pressure gauge doesn’t read properly - I’m told it was due to the combination of 205 gauges and the engine swap. Also, the oil temp gauge doesn’t work. But the coolant temp gauge works and electric fans also work great and automatically turn on at approximately 82-85 C.

Vehicle Details

In the past 3-6 months, I’ve performed extensive maintenance reconditioning the car and have documentation for which. This includes:

-New driveshafts on both sides and axle seals

-New gearbox fluid

-Ignition: New spark plugs, wires, cap and rotor

-Exhaust: New gasket from downpipe to system and rubber isolators

-New oil and coolant hoses for about 90% of the engine. Only those in excellent condition were not replaced

-New coolant manifold on the back of the engine

-Professionally refinished (but original) Speedline alloy wheels and new Peugeot center caps

-New dash cap (old had cracks and the “triangle” and coin holder were broken)

-Oil change with filter

-Complete coolant flush

-New air filter

-New dipstick

-New brake fluid reservoir cap gasket

-New JVC bluetooth stereo

eBay doesn’t allow me to post photos of all the receipts for this work but I do have them and will include (and can email if necessary).
