Forty-year-old Peugeot 205 sells for record-breaking £227,250 at auction
A 1984 Peugeot 205 has sold for an incredible £227,250. The sporty model is one of just 200 of the 'Homologation Specials' editions made by the French car giant.
The road-going motor, which has less than 10,000 miles from new, has now achieved a new UK auction record. Iconic Auctioneers say of the Silverstone Circuit sale: "It's a rare and sought-after jewel for automotive collectors and enthusiasts and capable of a blistering 137mph."
"Understandably there was a lot of interest in this car both in the room and online, but it was a telephone bidder who secured the winning bid. Capable of a blistering 137mph, it shares nothing with the mass-production 205 except the windscreen, doors and headlamps and mechanically it is completely different, most notably its mid-engined and 4-wheel-drive layout. The fact that it was shaped and named to be a 205 member was purely to promote the sales of the mass-production car."
