Interesting price and an interesting read.
The seller writes “At the beginning of 1987, the Peugeot 205 GTI 1.6 and 1.9 had been selling like hotcakes since their successive launches in 1984 and 1986, when information began to be revealed in the press concerning the forthcoming marketing of a 205 “Rally”. This more economical model would not be part of the GTI line, but would be positioned just below the 1.6 version with 115 hp. It would take the place of the 105 hp 1.6 version which had just been withdrawn from the Peugeot catalogue. At that time, there was too much of a gap between the real GTI sports cars and the more muscular models of the classic 205 range, namely the GT and XT versions which had a power of barely 80 hp. For this intermediate model, it is also a question of finding a high-performance engine with a displacement of less than 1.3 litres, in order to comply with Group A and N regulations in the under 1,300 cm3 class. The idea is to offer amateur drivers a vehicle capable of competing in these two categories of motor racing at a lower cost”.
