In 1986, two years after the successful launch of the first Peugeot 205 GTI 1.6, the Sochalian manufacturer offered a second version of the sporting icon of the 1980s and 1990s at a low price. This one proved even more convincing, with a displacement of 1.9 litres and a power of 130 bhp obtained at 6,000 rpm! The 1,000 metres from a standing start was under 30 seconds, which was already exceptional for the time. To counterbalance this performance, a highly efficient front suspension and disc brakes were fitted at the front and rear. The GTI was a complete success before it was retired in 1994. The Gentry does not replace the GTI, but rather supports the GTI's career. In the early 90s, the GTI had to be more discreet and the clientele changed. The Clio Baccaras are the new queens of the 16th and Peugeot wants to attack this market. The 205 Gentry presented here is a very rare Mayfair beige version sold new in Holland. First put on the market on July 9, 1992, it has an interesting configuration. It is equipped with the panoramic sunroof and the mechanical gearbox.
It was always very well maintained by Peugeot garages or 205 specialists. Its current condition is excellent, the interior is flawless and the leather of the seats without wear or tear. The beige specific to the Mayfair colour is present everywhere, from the steering wheel to the gear shift knob or even the seat belts and everything is in near perfect condition. The service booklet certifies the original mileage and the car is sold with its two keys and the period centralization "plip". The test drive will confirm the great freshness of the 205. The 105 hp 1.9 l engine is a model of pleasure and smoothness. The distribution system, water pump, filters and spark plugs were replaced in June 2020 at 104,400 km. This 205 is a collector's item in power and some historians of the brand speak of only about 200 examples manufactured in this configuration.
