Okay, so the 205 GTi may not have changed the world in the same way as the Beetle, or be a bedroom pin-up like the McLaren, but in its own way the 205 was and still is special.

It's still the benchmark for hot hatches, even though it's over 20 years old. Its combination of a lightweight body, nimble chassis, strong engines and amazing steering feedback still make the GTi the one to measure up to.

It was the Boxster of its day - a great car whose image was stained by the people who often bought them.

Flash city types were seen bumbling around urban roads in their 205 GTi holding up there heads with pride.

Oh yes, the 205 GTi is a true classic and one not to be forgotten this is why at just gtis we do everything in our power to capture time on this superb little motor to ensure that it stays around for us all to continue admiring and more importantly enjoying for many more years to come.
