The Peugeot 205 is a design that endures, even if the actual cars themselves are becoming scarcer as time marches on – 5.3 million were built between 1983 and 1999. The most enduring 205 of all is the 205 GTI, a two-door performance variant shaped in-house by Peugeot’s head of design Gerard Welter and his team. Around 333,000 GTIs were built. Highly praised at the time of its introduction in 1984, the model is now seriously sought-after but examples are frequently fragile and in poor shape.
Prices have risen hugely on all-original cars, if you can find one, but the Tolman edition is in another league. ‘I was 21 when I got my first 205 GTI and most of the customers for the Tolman edition had one too,’ Tolman says. ‘That said, younger clients just see it as a very cool car.’Josh Sims is a journalist contributing to the likes of The Times, Esquire and the BBC.
