1992 Peugeot 205 Gentry, 1900 cc. Registration number K184 NAG. Chassis number VF320CDF424876790. Engine number TBC The Peugeot 205 was produced from 1983 until 1998 and was an instant hit; its styling was echoed in every Peugeot model that was to follow. The exterior styling was never facelifted or significantly altered in its 15-year production run. At the beginning of 1993, Peugeot launched the 306, which officially replaced the 309; the arrival of this car also diminished the 205's role (and its sales figures) in the Peugeot range, as had the arrival of the smaller 106 in September 1991 - although the final demise of the 205 was still some years away. The 205 was first available as a GTI in 1984 and was initially powered by a fuel injected 1.6 petrol engine, followed by the 1.9 GTI in 1986. They made only four limited editions GTI's; the Griffe which was only sold in Europe and was bright green (1652 were made); 25 FM1's; to celebrate 25 years of Radio 1 in 1992, in 1989/90 1200 were made in Miami blue and Sorrento Green and then there was the Gentry. The Gentry was arguably not a GTI model as it used a detuned 105 bhp 1.9 litre engine with an automatic gearbox. Only 300 models were made in Sorrento Green and Aztec Gold (sometimes called Mayfair Beige). They came with full-leather and real wood trim, power assisted steering, ABS and heated mirrors. It came with the same body side trims as the GTI, which led to the Gentry often being mistaken for a GTI. NAG has had a pampered life with only one lady owner; purchased new on the 1st August 1992 from Arundale Ltd of Bridlington, she has a full service history with 18 stamps in her service book, the last being at 49,963 in July 2016 (not in the book but paperwork present); MOT'd in 2016 at 49,963 and 2017 at 50,111, the mileage today is some 50,145. A new cam belt was fitted in 2002, an exhaust in 2004, and again in 2009 (indicative of short journeys where the system does not get fully hot), a new alternator and brake overhaul in 2010. The overhaul condition of NAG is very good having lived her life in a heated garage; particularly the very rare full leather seats are exceptional. She would benefit from some long runs to clear her injection system through as she has covered very little mileage in recent years due to the advancing age of our vendor. Sold with the V5C, service book, manual and a comprehensive history folder.
