As with every car ever, its value is whatever someone's willing to pay for it.

indeed, and tbh i bet it really wasn't a 205 enthusiast that bought it in the typical sense, there are many more out there built or simply maintained to a far higher standard, but the owners built them to be used not to sell on.
there's so much wrong with that particular example, but I'll leave it there.

The clear indicators may be factory but i'm not so sure about the diesel bonnet - does anyone know more about this car/sale?

My dad was at the auction today selling his mini. He said he saw it but couldn't get round to have a look as it was cordoned off, he didn't stay to see this go through but the estimate was 18-20k.
I guess its destined to live in a garage and get trailered to shows.

here's the auction listing... www.angliacarauctions.co.uk/en/classic-auctions/latest-classic-car-catalogue/saturday-9th-april/1991-peugeot-205-gti-19/While it's nice to think that your car is going up in value on the one hand, it's a double edged sword.... I bought my car because I like it and enjoy driving it and I'm not in it for the money..... if values climb too high, real enthusiasts get priced out and investors pile in plus spares prices rocket as fewer cars get broken. I want to be able to use my car whenever I want, not worry about reducing its value by putting more miles on it... I hope I eventually sell this car on in many years time having put another 100,000 miles on it and having enjoyed everyone of them. |

Agreed, Spares have been rocketing for some time, over inflated prices by people wanting to make a fast buck. |

Recorded mileage 5
There is your answer. (even if that is a restored mileage, that is what someone is paying for).

i'm not so sure about the diesel bonnet Diesel bonnet's the same as GTi etc., it's the automatic 205 bonnet that's different, slightly taller in the centre section to clear the higher engine installation. It gives more air around the engine on all the other 205 models. But this car doesn't have one. |

I was at the auction to see this sell and yes there were a few things not quite right on the car and the owner was aware of this but he had never built a 205 before but people just bashed him for having things wrong and bolts in wrong place etc. I feel the car and owner should be praised for his work instead of being slated by people that 1 have bot seen the car in the flesh and 2 restored a car to a standard like this. This car got pulled apart on the 205 drivers forum and its all pathetic and jealously in my eyes and i feel its great news for the values of this type of car is good news.

Wow! Cars simply stunning! He's put an awful lot of time and effort in to that car. Let the haters criticize all they like. That's one impressive car.

Undoubtedly a very nice car but likely will stay a trailer queen, kinda pointless in my book.

sadly at that price it may have gone to a collector who won't use it.... I hope not, these cars should be used.
Credit to the guy who restored it though, it looks a great car and most of us would be proud to turn out a car like that..... I wonder how many of the people who've rubbished it have actually done a restoration this extensive?
