In 1983, Peugeot launched the 205 on the market. The company was in financial difficulties at the time, and its future depended on the success of this new model.
its future depended on the success of this new model. To boost its image, Peugeot decided to enter competition with a model similar to the 205. The 205 Turbo 16 was developed to take part in the World Rally Championship in the premier Group B category. The regulations stipulate that 200 production models must be built to obtain homologation. The 205 Turbo 16 "série 200" was presented by the Sochaux-based manufacturer at the 1984 Geneva Motor Show. This body-built 205 is distinguished by its red-rimmed Magnum Grey body manufactured by Heuliez. It was then assembled by Peugeot Talbot Sport in Boulogne, France, and fitted with a turbocharged 1.8-liter XU 4-cylinder engine to produce 200 hp. With its all-wheel drive, it's a formidable performer. Some customers will even opt for a PTS kit to boost its power to 300 hp, almost as much as the competition version. Inside, the T16 features a special dashboard with a multitude of instruments, a two-spoke steering wheel embossed with the Turbo 16 logo, and perforated aluminum pedals. The two-tone leather and fabric bucket seats feature an imposing lion on the back, like a warrior's coat of arms. In the end, 219 examples were produced. The goal was achieved, as the 205 Turbo 16 became one of the Group B's most emblematic cars, winning the world championship in 1985 and 1986. The abolition of this category sent it into premature retirement, but Peugeot bounced back with a successful entry in the Paris-Dakar Rally, adding further to its image as an icon of the 1980s. The car we're presenting is one of the first 205 Turbo 16 series 200, registered 144 FZJ 75 and put on the road on June 14, 1984 in the name of the company S.I.E.. Headquartered at 65 rue de Rivoli in Paris, this company specialized in industrial cleaning, including maintenance of the Peugeot factories in Poissy. It was run by Michel Delfau, who was also president of the Club 205 Turbo 16. He kept the car until February 1987, when he sold it to its current second owner, whose odometer read 60,000 km. Also a member of the club, he took part in various events and gatherings at the wheel. Now credited with just over 85,000 km, the car is presented in its original state, with bodywork that has been repainted in the past and bears the scars of its use. The interior is entirely original and in satisfactory condition. It has been serviced since 1989 by the Peugeot garage Desruolsitué near Annonay, and a large file of invoices testifies to its regular maintenance. We also note the presence of its original red bar. Our example has seen little use in recent years, but is in good working order, and its timing belt was replaced at the end of 2023. An absolute myth of the 1980s, the Peugeot 205 Turbo 16 is one of the most coveted cars of its generation for its rarity, performance, track record and glorious history. Few cars today can claim to have such a clear and perfectly
history like the one we're presenting today. Having known only two
owners, our example has never stopped driving, bringing its owner intense joy. Presented at a
attractive estimate, this is an exceptional opportunity not to be missed!
