1988 Peugeot 205 Gti 1.9 - Rare Gutmann conversion from new For Sale

When it comes to hot-hatches, none has made a stronger impression to recent plaudits and the motoring press than the Peugeot 205 GTi 1. 9. Here at Trinity Car Solutions we are delighted to present to you for sale, a very rare 205 Gti "Gutmann" in Cherry Red, a stunning car for the 205 enthusiast, something just a little bit different.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with the 205 GTi Gutmann, it was a customized model by German tuning company Gutmann, now a Peugeot dealer in Breisach, Baden Württemberg. Only about 300 units modified by Gutmann were imported in the late 1980s, early 1990s, and others taken and tweaked at Gutmann UK direct from main dealers as an option. Our car boasts a whopping £7k of modifications with the original bill of sale to show the extent of the work completed.

Compared to the standard Peugeot 205 GTi 1. 9, the Gutmann model featured the four valve cylinder head from the Peugeot 309 GTi, different engine mapping, radiator for oil cooling, air filter and sports exhaust. All these modifications raised output from 130PS (128hp) to 160PS (158hp).

But Gutmann didn’t just tweak the engine; they also lowered the suspension by 30mm (1. 2in), mounted a front strut brace, shortened the fifth gear ratio from 0. 88 to 0. 81, increased the final drive ratio from 3. 68 to 3. 94, reinforced the clutch and added stronger brake discs.

Visually, the 205 GTi 1. 9 Gutmann remained fairly standard but featured subtle changes with some options including steering wheel, gearknob, body mouldings, alloy wheels and the Gutmann brand badges.

Our fabulous little Pug is in great condition, having benefitted from enthusiast owners since new, and has featured in magazines and forums for its entire life. A solid car, with the desirable for body flex rigidity non sunroof option having covered less than 64k miles from new. A strong history file, including the Gutmann build sheet and now subject to a full mechanical overhaul and new MOT prior to sale, this gem of a car is ready to go. The interior is phase 1. 5 half leather with the red and grey cloth inserts, contrasting red carpets and quality make sound system completing the description.

Peugeot 205 Gti's continue to be a great choice in Modern Classic World and this exceptional car, with its little bit of extra fizz being a rare edition is worthy of serious consideration. Low miles, good history and a recognised dealer option modification it doesn't get much better than this if you want a 205 that will be a conversation piece on the service station forecourt.

Any inspection welcome as this car has undergone a complete and comprehensive inspection by our team here at Trinity.
