Though I bought this book becouse I love 205 GTI's and wanted a good read, it has real good substance which can be extremely usefull. For instance; except from the history of the 205 which you'd expect to find in a book like this, it has chapters going deeper in the sporting roots of the 205, a buyers guide with usefull tip's, service tip's and an extencive list of adresses (mostly U.K. though) of part specialists, tuning specialists and dealers. Not only the 205 GTI is discussed but also it's special editions, the 205 T-16 rally car, the XS and GT models (though only breefly), 205 rally and 205 CTI cabriolet. it's a good value book with quite a bit of information.

Most images are black and white, with a few large color photo's. and it could use a few more pages. Though for it's price and substance it still get's for stars.

Sporting Peugeot 205's is a very comprehensive book. Although getting a little older now, so some of the pricing detail is a bit out, it is still a very though guide. I am Australian so we didn't get all of the gti models, however it is still a very good read.
