Peugeot 205

The final car in our concours d’elegance is the Peugeot 205 GTI from the mid 1980s, a hot hatch from the days when Peugeots were cool rather than the default option for people who need a car but just don’t care any more. Peugeots have become the Toyota Camrys of Europe, only much less reliable, sort of uninspired and stuffy. I have no idea how they can come from the same organisation that also produces the marvellously mad Citroens and DS’s. I covet a DS3 or a C4 Cactus but I’d never consider a Peugeot equivalent, which is strange bacsue their cars are essentially the same underneath.
