Thats a T16!!! Dont see many of them - only 200 were made, and most were used for rallying and written off.

Only about 20 remaining in the world, with 1-2 in the UK.

205 T16 is my dream car. A few years back I used to track a few web sites that had the road going version for sale. Sadly I think they've all been mothballed by collectors now. Amazing you got one at the petrol station!

Some more pics

Pass the tissues somebody, I fancy 2nds!

Check this little 205. Its a slotcar (scalextric) of the Pikes Peak 205.



Only pic I can find at the moment. Theses are very rare and its taking some smooth talking to the misses to pay near £50 for a slot car.

Saw this one at the N.E.C. last year.

Now where did I put that old copy of Car magazine with the T16 and Metro 6R4 road test.

Got no reason to believe it wasn't a genuine one. He would have had to go to the trouble of buying a left hooker to start with.

May even be the one that bear3784 took the photo's of as it was heading in the general direction of Hertford

My old girl nestled behind one on the way back from the ring last October. Had to make an un-planned detour to a garage in Liege for a new drive shaft. When I went to collect it the following morning the garage owner who didnt speak a word of English had a grin on his face when he took me to get my car and I saw his beauty.... His T16 was previously registered to a french rally driver as his road car. He is now restoring it .....

According to "Sporting Peugeot 205's" there were estimated to be only about 25 T16's remaining, and 2 in Britain. Could be more of course, but its also possible some are replica's.

The Stoneleigh was probably a Dimma or rallycrosser, there aren't many T16's around now.

Here's one my old photos from the 1985 RAC Rally of a T16. There's a picture on the net of the same car at Goodwood so B555SRW is still around - see http://www.andycam.net/view_photo.ph...04&id=IMG_0690



Here's a picture of the competition from the same year.
