The rarest of the GTIs Increased performance Nice condition French registration Chassis n° VF3741C66F5496799 The PTS 125 Kit was sold in the Peugeot Talbot network from the end of 1984 to the end of 1986. It was sold at a price of 11 808 F, to be added to the 72 500 F of a new 205 GTI. It was developed by the tuner Danielson, who only intervened at the level of the cylinder head. The valve diameter was increased, the camshaft was reworked and the exhaust and intake ducts were optimised. The head gasket has been refined to increase the compression ratio. As a result, the XU5J’s power output has been increased from 105 to 125 bhp and the maximum rpm from 6600 to 6900.

This kit could be assembled on a new 205 or on a car already in circulation. This assembly also required a complementary approval by the Mines with a riveted plate in the engine compartment and the modification of the type on the registration card (741C66 MO for modified). A distinction was made if the kit was mounted on a new car or a car already in circulation. In the case of new cars, the plate indicated «additional approval», whereas in the case of cars already in circulation, the plate indicated «prototype approval». The presence of this plate and the modified type on the vehicle registration document therefore formally identify a genuine 205 GTI Kit PTS.

According to the former Danielson boss, the contract for the PTS kit was for the production of 1800 cylinder heads. The example we present is a 205 GTI 1.6 put on the road on 18 January 1985. As the PTS plate indicates, the kit was ordered when the car was purchased by its first owner. This car is now in very good condition, the body is very sound and the bodywork has been repainted in 2018 in its original onyx black colour. The interior is still in its original state, only the driver’s seat has been completely restored in August. Mechanically, many parts have been replaced, so this car works perfectly.

At the wheel we could appreciate the pleasure of the PTS kit which brings more response at high revs. Its exacerbated temperament and its rarity make it certainly the most exotic of the 205 GTI 1.6, it is certainly an opportunity not to be missed!
