Group B rally fans have the chance to wrap driving gloves around a Peugeot 205 T16 now available for sale in the UK – after a small moment parting with £175,000 (AU $300K).

One of 200 homologation specials produced, the mid-engined 1.8-litre four-cylinder 205 Turbo 16 also scored a front/rear adjustable all-wheel-drive system and a five-speed manual transmission together capable of a claimed 6.0-second 0-100km/h.
