A definitive guide to the Peugeot 205, the unassuming car that saved Peugeot in the 1980s and went on to become a rally-winning legend. With technical specification details and a full production history from 1983-1999, Peugeot 205 - The Complete Story is an ideal resource for enthusiasts of the car that is now considered an automotive classic. With some previously unseen photographs, the book covers the M24 project - the genesis of the 205; the legendary 1.6 and 1.9 GTI models and the popular CTI convertibles and other special editions. Advice is given on buying, maintaining and modifying 205s today and finally, there is an exclusive interview with rallying legend Ari Vatanen.
