Take a sympathetic stadsgebakje, move the engine to the back, screw a turbo on and win the Monte Carlo Rally. That is in brief the recipe of this 205 T16, that will soon be under the hammer.
For the younger readers among us, the title is a reference to the slogan that the mischievous Peugeootje in their own country to the man/woman is brought. That ordinary 205’you has very little to do with the 205 T16 that soon by RM Sotheby’s auction is going to be. Much more than headlights and windscreen you will not be able to exchange it with the production model.
Peugeot built the T16’s for the both famous and notorious Group B-standings and booked the cars, the necessary successes. This Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 Evolution 1 Group B, as the car is fully let to call, knew in 1985 if fastest the route of the Monte Carlo Rally and the Swedish Rally. This was partly due to the capable steering of Ari Vatanen, as well as the 1775 cc measuring four-cylinder in Evolution 1-trim is good for about 350 hp. Speedfreaks have to just search for a Evolution 2, which is the 500 hp kicks in. Would you like your weekly shopping to do, then I advise you this something beschaafdere street version. The 205 T16 also scored successes in the Dakar rally, after in 1986 with the Group B championship was stopped and was also fast on the gravel of Pikes Peak.
Well, in terms of power remains, with this particular instance, therefore, something to be desired, in terms of history is very much in order. And that is exactly the reason that RM Sotheby’s expected 600,000 to 800,000 euros to pick up with this 205 T16. Fortunately, you have some time to spare, on 14 may, the car afgehamerd in Monaco. A more appropriate location can the 205 is not wish to. Because the car is so much fun below, have a nice set of photos of welleer. Not all specific to this car -which is at the top of the article – but that should not spoil the fun!
