yeah i also thought this the photos were supposed to have been a fake wernt they ? they went through homologation troubles for this reason. lots of the 200 were used for rallying by private teams any way wernt they ? ? i cant imagine many being left. not in the uk any way ?

200 was the number needed for homologation yes.

i know baz lol what im saying is that lots of the road cars were turned into rally cars privatly anyway.

[Baz 421]

Really?!

 

So how come i'm telling you these things if you seem to know more than me...

Erm, well, i don't 'know' anything, do you then, definitively?

[sounds of silence 2]

the one i built ]

 

started out with a aim at the beginning and pretty much have the finished article now

nope

[Baz 421]

So why are we essentially having the same conversation we had a few pages ago then? Where you basically said the same thing, and Jonny and I both posted about the rumours of the numbers actually made being a lot less, 30, 50 etc??

a nice, tidy white 1.9; wouldn't have to be mint as i'd want to use it, but would want a sound shell/paint and all new chassis parts, good engine/box. probably wouldn't mod much (engine mounts, exhaust, brakes)

 

Pretty simple for me & quite possible someone on here has close to this very spec car aready but you could buy it new from Peugeot in this form.

 

White non sunroof shell from 89-91 era (when the galvanising & paint were about it best imo) Longman 1.9 8v engine, 1.9 / 1.6 FD gearbox & diff, proper management, SBC roadspeed suspension (21mm rear torsion bars, 23mm arb, solid mounts, SBC front shocks & springs) but otherwise standard except for the PTS grille stripes.

 

did you know they only made 200 by the way ?

According to Sporting Peugeot 205's there were a total of 241 Road going versions made.

well i dont know do i baz !! i just stated what was to my knowledge that the rumours of only 50 being made and the dodgy photos made trouble for their homoligation !! i knew it was around 200 - 250 !

 

anyway does anyone actually know how many are left in the uk ? or left at all??

I've heard a rumour that Kate Moss owns a T16 205. I've also heard that Jeremy Clarkson owns a black 1.9 that he bought new and put into storage, has anyone else heard these rumours?

[screwloose 6]

I've got 7 T16s hidden away.

[Baz 421]

I've got 7 T16s hidden away.

 

 

Overly modest as ever!!

[Daviewonder 533 3 Cars]

I bet you haven't even got 7 inches hidden away

[screwloose 6]

I was merely continuing the dross this thread has descended into

[Baz 421]

Indeed. But i meant it, ever modest!

 

You could've counted the rally ones though too, not just the road versions...

[GLPoomobile 958]

Why?

 

They're not that expensive.

 

 

The one i posted was sold a few months ago () for about £35k. Not pocket money no, but hardly fortunes, about the same as a half decent new family saloon.

 

You've said this before Baz, and I know you don't mean it this way, but it sounds so pompous. I take it a bit personally as the chances of me ever having £35k sitting around spare are slim to none (unless my Lotto numbers come up). I doubt I'm unusual in that respect either, it's the result of living a hand to mouth lifestyle rather than saving every penny like a Jew But I do know one thing, if I did have a spare £35k kicking around I can think of plenty of things I'd rather spend it on than a Turbo16

 

 

I've heard a rumour that Kate Moss owns a T16 205.

 

Aye right, I can see that being likely

Back on topic,

Standard minty fresh Topaz 1.9 gti, fsh, about 40K on the clock but with a 160 bhp 8v Skip brown engine for that little extra:-)
