1988 Peugeot 205 CTI | Crewe, Cheshire

The Peugeot 205 CTI is the open-top 205, shaped with Pininfarina and sharing its injected 1.6-litre mechanicals with the GTI. It is liked for its compact proportions, a light hood that folds quickly and a rollover hoop behind the front seats. This car is red with a cream interior, a bright pairing that reads clearly against both urban and rural backdrops. It has a 1600cc engine and is in excellent condition. The cabriolet seats four, and the roof can stay up for a neat, closed profile or come down for open-air shots. Its late-eighties lines suit period film and TV work, and advertising that needs a 1980s European feel. Fashion and editorial shoots, and music videos, get a colourful, small car that frames well in tight locations. A couple can also use it as a wedding getaway car, or for a personal drive. It is based in Crewe, Cheshire.
